Alistair Stewart

Alongside my role at CRS, I am co-organising Sentient Futures Summit London 2026, which will be Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th May (the weekend before EA Global London).

My career goal is to prevent, reduce and alleviate the most intense forms of suffering, with a focus on the intersection of powerful AI and sentient nonhumans (biological and artificial).

Interested in:

* Sentience- & suffering-focused ethics; sentientism; painism; s-risks
* Animal ethics & abolitionism
* AI safety & governance
* Activism, direct action & social change
