confirmed95% confidence

1 evidence check

Last checked: 4/4/2026

The source text explicitly states that Eliezer Yudkowsky founded MIRI (originally the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence) in 2000, confirming both the person, organization, founder role, and start date (2000-01 falls within 2000). The source does not explicitly list 'Senior Researcher' as a current title, but this is not contradicted—the source focuses on historical founding and does not provide a comprehensive current role description. The claim is substantially confirmed by the source material.
