Peter Wildeford

Peter Wildeford is the Head of Policy at The AI Policy Network, an organization building bipartisan support for policies that prepare America for AI superintelligence. He has spoken about AI on Good Morning America, the Daily Show, The Information, TechCrunch, Transformer, and Politico. Previously, he co-founded the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy and before that he was a data scientist and software engineer for five years. He is also a top-20 forecaster on Metaculus and has placed highly in multiple forecasting tournaments.

Peter believes that the United States faces a defining test of technology governance. Anthropic has declared "We build Claude with Claude" and OpenAI has said the same about ChatGPT. Forget building the plane while flying it - the plane is now building itself while flying itself! AI companies are aiming to build superintelligent systems smarter than all top human experts combined and there's no reason why this couldn't work. We need to get out ahead of this and prepare while we still can.
