- Keep Hi David, I didn't see the message you put up on the talk page. I think Paul Christiano meets the following criterion from WP:NACADEMIC: "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." He's first author of "Deep reinforcement learning from human preferences" and co-author many other RLHF-related papers, which are extremely highly cited and a core technique used in training large language models like ChatGPT. See his Google Scholar here. Additionally, he is featured in an article in Time's list of 100 most influential people in AI. Enervation (talk) 08:52, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GNG as evidenced by recognition on cover of TIME magazine (one of 28 faces) and feature article in corresponding issue about the TIME 100 Most Influential People in AI (TIME 100/AI), as well as the Fortune magazine article which nominator agreed counted toward notability on the article Talk page. In addition, the 2017 New York Times article "Teaching AI systems to behave themselves" did feature Christiano alongside another colleague at OpenAI. These have all been added to the article now.

- Keep Definitely now meets GNG with the additional material added during the afd. Thriley (talk) 20:31, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
