Is AI 2027 written by AI?

No — AI 2027 was not written by AI.
It was created in April 2025 by a group of human authors and researchers who are active in the AI safety and forecasting space. The key contributors include:
- Daniel Kokotajlo – researcher at OpenAI, known for work on forecasting and AI alignment.
- Scott Alexander – physician, essayist, and blogger (Astral Codex Ten, formerly Slate Star Codex).
- Thomas Larsen, Eli Lifland, and Romeo Dean – other researchers and thinkers in the AI safety community.
They designed AI 2027 as a scenario — a detailed, month-by-month narrative exploring what might happen if AI development accelerates rapidly and systems begin improving themselves. The goal is to help policymakers, researchers, and the public think about possible futures, not to predict with certainty.
While AI tools may have been used to check wording or formatting, the core writing, research, and narrative structure came from humans, not from an AI system.
