Alex Tsakiris's journey into AI began while pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Arizona and founding Mind Path Technologies, a first-wave AI company that brought knowledge engineering to Fortune 500 companies like Texas Instruments and DuPont.
From there, Alex's deep-rooted interest in technology, science, and spirituality inspired him to create the Skeptiko podcast, which has garnered millions of downloads.
In 2024 Alex wrote a book titled, Why AI? Is Smartest... Is Dangerous... Is Divine. The AI Truth Ethics podcast is a result of that book.
He loves sharing his knowledge and learning from others about the intersection of AI, truth, and consciousness.
