Earl B. Hunt (January 8, 1933 – April 12 or 13, 2016) was an American psychologist specializing in the study of human and artificial intelligence.

His book Will We Be Smart Enough? combines cognitive theory, demographic projections and psychometric research to measure the capabilities of tomorrow's workforce against the needs of tomorrow's workplace.
