The Ball in OpenAI's court
Trump alum and voluble Substacker Dean Ball is angling to shape the future of OpenAI, if he can get people to listen.
Dean Ball, a 34-year-old policy expert, has been appointed by OpenAI to lead its new strategic futures team. The team is tasked with shaping AI policy from within the company. Ball's appointment comes at a time when AI's political impact is a hotly debated topic. His background in right-wing think tanks and his Substack writing, which focuses on AI, has earned him both supporters and critics. Ball's appointment suggests that OpenAI may be seeking to establish itself as a counterbalance to government regulation of AI.
