Dean Ball
Writer, Hyperdimensional
Writes the Hyperdimensional newsletter on emerging technology, public policy and the future of governance, from a classical liberal, pro-progress perspective.
Key arguments & positions
- Writes from a classical liberal, pro-progress perspective: skeptical of expansive government control over how AI diffuses through society, while seeing a role for government in security and the rule of law.
- Argues that what counts as a “beneficial” outcome for a general-purpose technology like AI is a question society answers collectively, not one regulators can settle in advance.
Accomplishments
- Writes Hyperdimensional, a newsletter on emerging technology, public policy and the future of governance.
- Previously a research fellow at George Mason University's Mercatus Center, focusing on AI and emerging-technology policy.
