INTERVIEW: StakeOut.AI w/ Dr. Peter Park (3)

As always, the best things come in 3s: dimensions, musketeers, pyramids, and... 3 installments of my interview with Dr. Peter Park, an AI Existential Safety Post-doctoral Fellow working with Dr. Max Tegmark at MIT. As you may have ascertained from the previous two segments of the interview, Dr. Park cofounded StakeOut.AI along with Harry Luk and one other cofounder whose name has been removed due to requirements of her current position. The non-profit had a simple but important mission: make the adoption of AI technology go well, for humanity, but unfortunately, StakeOut.AI had to dissolve in late February of 2024 because no granter would fund them. Although it certainly is disappointing that the organization is no longer functioning, all three cofounders continue to contribute positively towards improving our world in their current roles.
