Entrepreneur, marketing agency fundador y constructor de movimientos. Fundó el Nakada Foundation to Save Humanity en 2025 para prevenir los riesgos existenciales de la superinteligencia artificial a través de políticas, leyes y coordinación global.
Naoto Nakada ha dedicado su carrera a desarrollar negocios y estrategias de comunicación en cinco ciudades de cuatro continentes: Tokio, Sydney, Los Ángeles, Londres y Singapur. Su experiencia profesional es en emprendimiento y marketing, no en investigación de inteligencia artificial. Esa distancia de la industria de la IA es precisamente el punto.
The researchers who understand AI existential risk most deeply are, by and large, employed by or financially dependent on the laboratories building the systems they are warning about. Their careers, their funding, and their professional relationships are entangled with institutions they are simultaneously trying to govern. The independence required for effective advocacy is structurally impossible from within that system.
Naoto's founding conviction is that the world does not change because the right people have the right knowledge. It changes because the right political forces are assembled. The abolitionists were not historians of slavery. The suffragists were not constitutional lawyers. The people who protected the ozone layer were not atmospheric chemists. They were people who understood the stakes and organized accordingly.
His concern with artificial intelligence is not with the technology as a category. Narrow AI (systems that diagnose cancer, accelerate drug discovery, and extend the reach of human capability) represents one of the most beneficial technological developments in history. His concern is specific: with systems built to exceed and replace human intelligence across all domains, without the governance frameworks to ensure they remain compatible with human survival and flourishing.
The Nakada Foundation was established in 2025 as an act of conviction. Not as a research laboratory, not as an ethics body, but as a political campaign, operating on the understanding that binding international law and verified governance frameworks are the only mechanisms with the scope to match the scale of the risk. The models for this exist in nuclear non-proliferation, in the Montreal Protocol, in the Chemical Weapons Convention. The will to apply them to AI is what remains to be built.
La Fundación opera completamente fuera de la estructura de la industria de la IA. No acepta financiación de empresas de IA ni de organizaciones con intereses financieros en el ritmo del desarrollo de la IA. La independencia es una condición previa para que el trabajo de la Fundación tenga algún significado.
The AI safety community spent a decade building consensus inside academia and the industry. That consensus now exists. Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Stuart Russell, Sam Altman, and hundreds of the most respected researchers in the world have concluded that the development of artificial superintelligence poses a genuine risk of human extinction or catastrophic civilizational harm. Their consensus has not produced binding law.
The reason is structural. The researchers who understand the risk work inside or alongside the laboratories building the technology. Their funding, their careers, and their professional relationships are entangled with the very institutions they are warning about. Internal safety teams are not independent. They operate within an incentive structure that fundamentally rewards capability development over risk reduction.
Lo que se necesita es presión externa: de los gobiernos, de las leyes, de la cultura y de ciudadanos organizados que comprendan lo que está en juego. La voluntad política para gobernar el desarrollo de la superinteligencia debe construirse desde fuera de la industria que se beneficia de su ausencia.
The Nakada Foundation exists to build that will. Through direct policy advocacy in Washington, Brussels, London, and with international bodies. Through coalition-building with the foundations, governments, and cultural figures whose voices can shift the Overton window. Through commissioning art, film, and journalism that makes the stakes visceral and impossible to ignore. The model is a political campaign for the most consequential governance decision in human history.
Incidencia directa en Washington D.C., Bruselas, Londres y ante organismos de Naciones Unidas. Centrado en marcos vinculantes (gobernanza informática, tratados internacionales de seguridad de la IA, una Agencia Global de Monitoreo de la IA), no en directrices voluntarias. Read our full plan →
Engaging the world's largest philanthropic foundations, heads of government, Nobel laureates, and cultural figures to amplify the message, fund the cause, and shift what is politically possible. The pressure point for this issue is political will.
Encargar arte, cine, periodismo y medios de comunicación que haga que el peligro sea visceral e innegable. La seguridad debe ser algo prestigioso, urgente e imposible de ignorar. Las lecciones del movimiento climático sobre la normalización cultural se aplican aquí, con mayor urgencia.
