About
Vicky Chuqiao Yang is a rising scholar at the intersection of collective intelligence, complex systems, and global catastrophic risk reduction. Her work explores how decentralized human and machine networks can be harnessed as critical infrastructure to mitigate large-scale threats—from pandemics to climate change. In her widely discussed 2022 paper, "Collective Intelligence as Infrastructure for Reducing Broad Global Catastrophic Risks," Yang argues that leveraging distributed cognition and adaptive coordination can outpace traditional top-down responses to existential challenges. Though early in her career, her research has already garnered attention for its bold synthesis of computational social science, risk analysis, and systems engineering. Yang’s contributions are particularly notable for reframing collective intelligence not merely as a tool for optimization, but as a resilient, scalable layer of societal defense. Her work has been cited in interdisciplinary discussions spanning AI safety, public policy, and disaster preparedness, marking her as a distinctive voice in the emerging field of global catastrophic risk governance. With a focus on actionable frameworks, Yang is shaping how researchers and policymakers think about proactive, decentralized solutions to humanity’s most pressing vulnerabilities.
