Nate Soares

In March 2026, Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares joined other researchers to brief Bernie Sanders about superintelligent AI. Sanders released video of the meeting. MIRI, the organization they help lead, pointed its supporters toward the encounter. A warning had reached a senator's desk, with its authors in the room. MIRI's account

The Sanders meeting belongs in that sequence as documented access. It establishes an opportunity to inform and persuade him. We have not established that Yudkowsky or Soares drafted the later Sanders/Casar legislation. A photograph or briefing can demonstrate proximity; authorship requires evidence of authorship.

MIRI current roles: https://intelligence.org/team/ . Yudkowsky is listed under Leadership and Board. Malo Bourgon is CEO; Nate Soares is President. Earlier Singularity Institute name: https://intelligence.org/transparency/ . These are institutional roles, not proof of personal control over all linked organizations.

Advocacy adoption: https://controlai.org/blog/the-campaign promotes Yudkowsky/Soares's book. https://controlai.org/blog/briefing-70-lawmakers-on-ai invokes Yudkowsky's explanation of inferential distance. These support transmission of arguments and methods, not a funding or command edge.
