Robert Kralisch

Hey, I am Robert Kralisch, an independent conceptual/theoretical Alignment Researcher. I have a background in Cognitive Science and I am interested in collaborating on an end-to-end strategy for AGI alignment.

I am one of the organizers for the AI Safety Camp 2025, working as a research coordinator by evaluating and supporting research projects that fit under the umbrella of "conceptually sound approaches to AI Alignment".

The three main branches that I aim to contribute to are conceptual clarity (what should we mean by agency, intelligence, embodiment, etc), the exploration of more inherently interpretable cognitive architectures, and Simulator theory.

One of my concrete goals is to figure out how to design a cognitively powerful agent such that it does not become a Superoptimiser in the limit.
