NoteThe source is Bostrom's personal homepage focused on his current research and publications. While it confirms Nick Bostrom is a real person working on AGI governance and related topics, it does not address his affiliation with the Future of Humanity Institute, his role as Founder & Director, or the employment dates (2005-01 to 2024-04). The absence of this information in the source does not contradict the record—it simply means the source does not cover these specific organizational and temporal claims. To verify these claims would require a source that explicitly discusses his FHI affiliation and tenure.
