AI:AM GUEST

Judd Rosenblatt

CEO & Co-founder, AE Studio

Judd Rosenblatt is CEO and co-founder of AE Studio, a bootstrapped AI consulting and product agency that channels its consulting profits into neglected approaches to AI alignment research. Founded in 2016 with no outside venture capital, AE Studio funds an in-house alignment R&D team pursuing techniques mainstream safety research overlooks — including self-other overlap fine-tuning, which reduced deceptive AI responses from near 100% to single digits in published trials, and gradient routing, a pretraining technique that isolates dangerous capabilities into ablatable expert modules in mixture-of-experts models.

AI:AM LIVE — June 18, 2026 — AI Studios, Agent Factories, and Code: Judd Rosenblatt, Eno Reyes, Andrey Breslav

The opening covered the day's biggest AI stories: Midjourney founder David Holz's announcement of a whole-body ultrasonic CT scanner framed as the first vivid "AI dividend," Noam Shazeer's surprise move from Google to OpenAI, the Trump administration's demand for "uncircumventable" guardrails as a condition for Fable's return, and alphaXiv's paper-replication agents democratizing ML research. Then three guests: Judd Rosenblatt of AE Studio on gradient routing and neglected approaches to alignment; Eno Reyes of Factory on the software factory vision and why model-independence is the real moat; and Andrey Breslav — creator of Kotlin — on CodeSpeak and why "intent recovery" is the next layer of software engineering.
