Source Check Verdicts

unverifiable85% confidence

Last checked: 4/9/2026

While the source is clearly Nick Bostrom's homepage and discusses his work on AGI governance and related topics consistent with a philosophy/AI safety researcher, it does not directly confirm or contradict any of the specific personnel record claims: (1) his affiliation with University of Oxford, (2) his title as Professor of Philosophy, (3) his role as FHI Director, (4) the start date of January 2005, or (5) the end date of April 2024. The source mentions 'Oxford University Press' in a publication credit but does not state his employment there. To verify these claims would require consulting his CV, institutional directory, or other biographical sources explicitly listing employment history and dates.
