Max Tegmark
MIT Physicist, Author of Life 3.0, & AI Safety Expert
MIT physicist and Life 3.0 author Max Tegmark is a premier authority on AI safety and alignment. Specialising in AI governance and human control, he provides leaders with rigorous insights into artificial intelligence ethics. Tegmark’s research bridges technical innovation and responsible oversight to ensure intelligent systems benefit future humanity.
As AI capability accelerates, Max focuses on the decisions that determine whether intelligent systems remain tools that serve humanity, or evolve in ways that outpace human oversight. His work examines how technical choices, governance structures and incentives made today can shape outcomes decades ahead, with consequences that extend far beyond individual organisations.
His talks are clear, rigorous and thought-provoking. They focus on how leaders can think responsibly about AI’s trajectory without alarmism, but without complacency, and why long-term thinking is now a practical leadership skill.
