About Us

This is Natural Alignment, a limited Substack series that explains why we think AI designers will be increasingly forced, by the evo-devo network nature of intelligence, and by the forces of natural selection operating on information technology, to use deep neuro and biomimicry to design safer, more ethical, and loyal AI systems. It is written by John Smart and Nakul Gupta. John Smart is a futurist and systems theorist, trained under living systems pioneer James Grier Miller at UCSD, and co-founder of the Evo-Devo Universe complex systems research community. Nakul Gupta has a BS in Physics from UCLA, and has recently received an MS in Computer Science from USC.
