Roman V. Yampolskiy (Russian: Роман Владимирович Ямпольский) (born August 13, 1979) is a Latvian born computer scientist at the University of Louisville, known for his work on behavioral biometrics,[1] security of cyberworlds,[2] and artificial intelligence safety.[3] He holds a PhD from the University at Buffalo (2008).[4] He is currently the director of Cyber Security Laboratory in the department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at the Speed School of Engineering.[5]

Yampolskiy is an author of some 100 publications,[6] including numerous books.[7] His work is frequently profiled in popular media, such as: the BBC,[8] MSNBC,[9] Yahoo,[10] New Scientist,[11][12] Alex Jones Radio show[13] and many others.[14]

AI safety[edit]

Yampolskiy has warned of the possibility of existential risk from advanced artificial intelligence, and has advocated research into "boxing" artificial intelligence.[15]

Intellectology[edit]

In 2015, Yampolskiy launched intellectology, a new field of study founded to analyze the forms and limits of intelligence.[16][17][18] Yampolskiy considers AI to be a sub-field of this.[16] An example of Yampolskiy's intellectology work is an attempt to determine the relation between various types of minds and the accessible fun space, i.e. the space of non-boring activities.[19]
