Tristan Greene

Tristan is a science and technology journalist, independent researcher, and consultant. His primary areas of coverage include quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI).

As a researcher, he volunteers at the Center for AGI Investigations where he investigates claims related to the emergence of artificial general intelligence. His journalism career began in 2017 as an intern at The Next Web before eventually becoming the managing editor of The Next Web’s "Neural," a news vertical dedicated to AI and deep tech.

Prior to his career in science and technology, Tristan served in the U.S. Navy for 10 years as an information systems technician and shipboard engineer. Outside of work, Tristan enjoys gaming with his wife and studying military history. He and his family live in southern California.
