Alexander Wissner-Gross
Physicist and co-author of Solve Everything
A physicist and computer scientist known for the 2013 paper Causal Entropic Forces, which links intelligence to maximizing future freedom of action, and co-author with Peter Diamandis of Solve Everything, an essay on reaching abundance through AI by 2035.
Key arguments & positions
- Argues AI progress is accelerating fast enough to solve major problems in medicine, energy and industry within about a decade.
- Proposes that intelligent behavior can be described as maximizing future freedom of action, a physics-based account of intelligence.
Accomplishments
- Physicist and computer scientist; lead author of Causal Entropic Forces (Physical Review Letters, 2013).
- Co-author, with Peter Diamandis, of Solve Everything: Achieving Abundance by 2035.
