Personnel: Paul Christiano at Alignment Research Center (ARC) (Founder)

Verdictunverifiable95%
1 check · 4/13/2026

While the source is from the Alignment Research Center (ARC) website and confirms ARC exists as a non-profit research organization, it does not explicitly state who founded it or identify Paul Christiano in any capacity. The source mentions someone interning at ARC in 2022, but does not name that person. To verify the founder claim and the October 2021 start date, we would need a source that explicitly identifies Paul Christiano as ARC's founder and provides the founding date. The current source is about ARC itself but does not address the specific personnel claim being verified.
