## Bio

Alexei Fridman was born 15 August 1983 and became an American computer scientist before launching the Lex Fridman Podcast in 2018, drawing guests from science, technology, sports, arts, and politics. His profile jumped in 2019 when Elon Musk praised an MIT study Fridman authored claiming drivers stayed focused using Tesla's semi-autonomous system - though the work went unreviewed and drew criticism from AI experts. That same year he moved to an unpaid role at MIT AgeLab, then in 2022 took a research scientist position at the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems. As of February 2024 he lives in Texas while remaining employed at MIT, his podcast now a fixture in the long-form interview landscape.
