Niklas "Nick" Bostrom (/ ˈ b ɒ s t r əm / BOST-rəm; Swedish: Niklas Boström [¹nɪkːlas ²buːstrœm]; born 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, and the reversal test. In “Are you living in a computer simulation?”, Nick Bostrom presents a probabilistic analysis of the possibility that we might all be living in a computer simulation. Bostrom has a … He has worked on fascinating and important ideas in existential risks, simulation hypothesis, human enhancement ethics, and the risks of superintelligent AI systems, including in his book Superintelligence.

He also directs the Strategic Artificial Intelligence Research Center. Nick Bostrom is a philosopher at University of Oxford and the director of the Future of Humanity Institute. He concludes that it is not only possible, but rather probable that we are living in a computer simulation. At some point, then, any issues surrounding technical capability will be overcome: we will one day be computationally advanced enough to, firstly, run human consciousness on silicon, and secondly, create simulations as rich as the one we (might) currently inhabit. Nick Bostrom is a Swedish-born philosopher and polymath with a background in theoretical physics, computational neuroscience, logic, and artificial intelligence, as well as philosophy.
