Discovery Institute Fellow Erik J Larson

He has held the title of Chief Scientist in an AI-based startup whose first customer was Dell (Dell Legal), Senior Research Engineer at AI company 21st Century Technologies in Austin, worked as an NLP consultant for Knowledge Based Systems, Inc., and has consulted with other companies in Austin, helping to design AI systems that solve problems in natural language understanding.

Larson's been writing plenty of stuff critical of AI risk discussion lately, apparently even the Atlantic is keen to hear the creationist viewpoint.
