Przemysław “Psyho” Dębiak is a world-renowned competitive programmer and former OpenAI researcher who captured global attention as one of the very few humans to decisively outperform artificial intelligence in elite algorithmic competition. Widely regarded as a legend in the programming world, Dębiak has dominated the most demanding contests on the planet — including the International Olympiad in Informatics, TopCoder Open, and Google Code Jam — earning a reputation for extraordinary speed, creativity, and precision under pressure.
What makes his story remarkable is not only that he beat AI, but that he did so after years spent helping to build it from the inside. As a former OpenAI researcher, Dębiak understands the strengths and limits of modern AI systems at a deep technical level, giving him a rare, credible perspective on where human intelligence still surpasses machines — and why that matters for the future.
Celebrated by leaders across the AI community, Przemysław offers a compelling, firsthand view into the evolving relationship between human ingenuity and artificial intelligence. His work challenges assumptions about machine dominance and reminds audiences that creativity, intuition, and deep reasoning remain profoundly human strengths in an AI-driven world.
