Last checked: 3/20/2026

The source text confirms that Edwin Evans is on MIRI's board, but indicates he was the 'previous chair' rather than a current board member with unspecified role. The record states his role is 'Board Member' without specifying he was formerly chair. The source provides more current information (October 2023) showing organizational changes where Eliezer Yudkowsky became the new board chair, with Edwin Evans remaining on the board but in a diminished leadership capacity. The record's designation of 'Board Member' is technically accurate but incomplete/outdated as it doesn't reflect his previous position as chair or the recent leadership transition.
