Kevin Slavin

MIT Media Lab professor whose work on deceptive design was discussed by Joi Ito in emails forwarded from Epstein, and who appeared on calls with Reid Hoffman and Martin Nowak.

Court Filing

Kevin Slavin is an American entrepreneur and former Assistant Professor at the MIT Media Lab, where he founded the Playful Systems group. He is known for his work on the intersection of algorithms, gaming, and culture. The Goodwin Procter report on Epstein's interactions with MIT documents that Joi Ito forwarded Epstein emails to Slavin and discussed creating a symposium on deceptive design with him. Slavin appears on scheduling records for calls alongside Reid Hoffman, Epstein, and Martin Nowak. He appears in 11 EFTA documents.

His role in the Epstein network appears to have been as an MIT colleague consulted by Ito on research initiatives connected to Epstein funding, rather than as someone with a direct personal relationship with Epstein.
