Lex Fridman (/ˈfriːdmən/; born 15 August 1983)[2] is a Russian-American computer scientist and podcaster. Since 2018 he has hosted the Lex Fridman Podcast, where he interviews notable figures from various fields such as science, technology, sports, and politics.
Fridman rose to prominence in 2019 after he was lead author for a study which concluded that drivers remained focused while using Tesla's semi-autonomous system.[3] While praised by Elon Musk, the study was criticized by AI experts and was not peer-reviewed.[4][5]
