Last checked: 3/26/2026
The source confirms Paul Christiano has a BS from MIT and a PhD from UC Berkeley, matching the institutions in the claim. However, the source does not specify that the BS is in Mathematics or that the PhD is in Computer Science. The claim provides specific fields of study that cannot be verified from the provided source text. The additional context about the PhD focusing on AI alignment theory is partially supported by the thesis title 'Manipulation-resistant online learning' and his known work in AI alignment, but the specific field designation 'Computer Science' is not explicitly stated in the source.
