I hope to provide balanced commentary on AI policy. It is reasonable for readers of my work to worry that, given that I worked in the AI industry, I will be biased towards industry in my commentary. This page discloses my conflicts of interest with the AI industry. It also (hopefully) provides confidence that personal financial gain does not motivate my AI policy commentary.
I worked at OpenAI from August 5, 2019 to April 12, 2024. As part of my employment with OpenAI, I received equity in OpenAI. As of March 2026, I no longer have a direct financial interest in OpenAI (or any other AI company).
I have indirect exposure to AI companies through broad-market index funds. My wife also retains, as her separate property, an equity interest in OpenAI.
I am not under any non-disparagement obligations to OpenAI.
