The source confirms Bostrom is a philosopher and confirms he was a Professor and Founding Director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University. However, the source indicates this is a PREVIOUS role (2005-24), not his current role. The claim states he is currently a 'Professor of Philosophy, University of Oxford' but the source shows he is now working on the 'Macrostrategy Research Initiative' with no mention of current professorship at Oxford. The FHI founder role is accurate but outdated as of the source date.
