Who is Lex Fridman?
Fridman has been associated with MIT since 2015 and gained recognition in 2019 when Tesla CEO Elon Musk praised his MIT study on driver focus in Tesla’s semi-autonomous system. However, the study was later criticized by AI experts for lacking peer review.
Over the years, Fridman has interviewed several high-profile figures, including former US President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Argentinian President Javier Milei. He has also hosted tech giants like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, and thinkers like Yuval Noah Harari and Magnus Carlsen.
