Get GG on Dwarkesh Podcast

Grigori Guitchounts is a Harvard‑trained neuroscientist turned Senior Associate at Flagship Pioneering, where he is building AI and biotech ventures right as the field pivots from pure scaling to deeper brain‑inspired research. Dwarkesh’s recent run of episodes on this exact shift, from Ilya Sutskever’s “age of research” to Adam Marblestone on what AI is missing about the brain, sets the table for a practitioner who straddles neuroscience and frontier AI to explain what actually matters now.

Guitchounts has also been writing accessible, timely pieces on science and culture, with fresh work in Nautilus in 2024, so he can connect cutting‑edge lab reality to public stakes today. He has not appeared on the Dwarkesh Podcast before, which makes this a rare chance to hear from someone building at the AI‑biology frontier instead of just theorizing about it.

If you want sharper, concrete answers on how brain science will shape the next wave of AI and new medicines, support this nomination today.
