Founder, Understanding AI

Timothy B. Lee is the founder of Understanding AI, a newsletter covering the technology and policy of artificial intelligence, and co-host of the AI Summer podcast. A longtime technology journalist at Ars Technica, Vox, and The Washington Post, he has written extensively on self-driving cars, robotics, and the economics of AI. He argues that rapid capability gains are real and still may not translate into the kind of power that superintelligence scenarios assume.
