He is the co-author, alongside Eliezer Yudkowsky, of the New York Times bestselling book If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All (2025), which argues that the current race to develop super intelligent AI will end catastrophically unless humanity globally coordinates to stop it.

Nate has published extensively on AI alignment, including foundational work on decision theory, goal specification, and the incentives that drive advanced AI systems to seek power in ways their creators neither anticipate nor intend.
