We estimate that 9 people shaping AI have worked or studied at Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, including 7 (78%) here now and 2 with former affiliations. That total covers 7 people with work roles and 2 recorded only as students (2 both studied and worked here). Among 3,127 universities, the group is tied for 129th on current people and tied for 404th on all-time people. “Language and speech”, “Safety, alignment and evaluation” and “Science, health and biology” lead 6 areas of expertise (2 each of 9 people with profile topics), and researchers make up 7 of the 7 people here now (100%). Dated work records span from 2013 to 2026. Across dated career transitions, we record 7 full moves in and 7 out, led by departures to Millennium Institute for Intelligent Healthcare Engineering (iHEALTH) and National Center for Artificial Intelligence (2 each).
