Yes, but I believe it is a bit weird for a Wikipedia article to state that someone is the originator of the Seed AI theory when he just coined the term. I wasn't disputing anything, just trying to figure out if it is actually the case that Yudkowsky came up with the concept in the first place.

Not the concept - the term.

"Seed AI theory" probably refers to something or another in here - which did indeed originate with Yu'El.

Presumably http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_AI should be considered to be largely SIAI marketing material.
