Naomi Bashkansky recently resigned from OpenAI to join Conduit as a founding researcher. At Conduit, she will focus on training models to non-invasively read the human mind, sharing her vision of what telepathy could look like by 2035.
Industry observers note a broader talent shift in San Francisco: the brightest young minds who worked on AGI and alignment 5-10 years ago are now pivoting to Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). This explosion of young talent into the BCI space signals massive potential breakthroughs in the coming decade.
