Anders Sandberg (born 11 July 1972) is a Swedish computational neuroscientist, previously a Senior Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute.
In 2000, Sandberg co-founded Eudoxa, a science and technology think tank based in Stockholm.[1][2]
Sandberg has been described as “a multifaceted genius—a philosopher, neuroscientist, futurist, mathematician, and computer graphics artist.”[3] His contributions span a wide range of topics, including the Fermi paradox, model uncertainty, cognitive enhancement, whole brain emulation, intelligence explosion, oracle AI, anthropics, and the future of humanity, among others.
