Nick Bostrom (born Niklas Boström, 10 March 1973) is a Swedish philosopher at the University of Oxford known for his work on existential risk, the anthropic principle, human enhancement ethics, superintelligence risks, the reversal test, and consequentialism. He holds a PhD from the London School of Economics (2000). In 2011, he founded the Oxford Martin Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology and he is currently the founding director of The Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University.

He is the author of over 200 publications, including Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, a New York Times bestselller and Anthropic Bias. He was awarded the Eugene R. Gannon Award and has been listed in Foreign Policy's Top 100 Global Thinkers list. Bostrom’s work on superintelligence has influenced both Elon Musk’s and Bill Gate’s concern for the existential risks facing humanity over the coming century.
