Leopold Aschenbrenner

Leopold Aschenbrenner (born 2001/2002)[1] is a German artificial intelligence researcher and investor. He was part of OpenAI's "Superalignment" team before he was fired in April 2024 over an alleged information leak, which Aschenbrenner disputes. In 2024, he published an essay titled "Situational Awareness" about the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and related security risks.[2] The essay attracted widespread media and industry attention, and became the namesake for Aschenbrenner's $20 billion AUM (at peak) hedge fund, Situational Awareness LP, which invests in private and public companies involved in AI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Aschenbrenner
