E. Glen Weyl Biography

Web 3, the metaverse, artificial intelligence and social networks are transforming our society and economy, and core social values like democracy and pluralism. Glen Weyl is the world’s leading expert on how to harness these emerging tools to advance support, advance, and renew those values.

As the main intellectual collaborator of Vitalik Buterin (Founder of Ethereum), Jaron Lanier (father of virtual reality), and Audrey Tang (Digital Minister of Taiwan), Weyl makes the dizzying possibilities of the future digestible.

Weyl was on the leadership team of Microsoft’s Office of the CTO, which led the relationship with OpenAI, and is now leading the main industrial research group (the PTC) addressing how plural (free, democratic, and diverse) societies can thrive in the age of generative foundation models.

Weyl has founded and acts as the research lead of the largest decentralized technology research group in the world. He has shaped the world’s most vibrant digital decentralized ecosystem (Ethereum) and national digital democracy (Taiwan) respectively.

As co-author of "Radical Markets," Weyl invented social technologies like Quadratic Voting that have become the gold standard for democratic innovation. As an advisor on geopolitics and macroeconomics to Microsoft’s senior leaders, Weyl has helped companies navigate the intersection of an unsettled world with exponential technical progress.

As Founder of RadicalxChange and technical co-lead of the Committee for Pandemic Testing, Weyl has built a global social movement across civil, academic, public, and private sectors to tackle the most pressing and enduring social challenges.

Weyl has been recognized as one of the 10 most influential people in blockchain by CoinDesk, as one of the 25 people shaping the next 25 years of technology by WIRED, and as one of the 50 most influential people by Bloomberg Businessweek, all in 2018. He graduated as Valedictorian of his Princeton undergraduate class in 2007 and received his Ph.D. in economics, also from Princeton in 2008.

E. Glen Weyl Speaking Topics

  • Plurality and the Future of AI

    AI carries twin and seemingly contradictory threats: of destroying the social fabric through omnipresent and persuasive deception and of concentrating power in a “singularity” of model creators or models themselves. These two threats are narrowing the corridor in which plural (free and democratic) societies can thrive. To avoid this Scylla and Charybdis, we must harness these tools to proactively widen that corridor, a strategy that has been labeled “Plurality” by its leading practitioner, Taiwan’s Digital Minister Audrey Tang who has made that country the light to the free world. Drawing on his forthcoming book jointly with her, Glen will show you how to harness Plurality to improve health, fuel productivity, and create a richer media environment, all by harnessing and contributing to human diversity and cooperation through digital technology.

  • Surviving Online when Deception is Omnipresent and Omnipotent

    The next wave of generative foundation models (GFMs) succeeding ChatGPT and DALL-E will make an indistinguishable and arbitrarily manipulable simulation of human content (e.g., video, voice, documents) ubiquitous, liquidating much of the foundation of social cooperation and trust.

    Maintaining trust and collaboration will require a revolution in verification and dramatically expanded applications of cryptography. Luckily, Web3 ecosystems like Ethereum and countries like Taiwan have been coping with similar threats for years now. In this talk, Glen will draw lessons from these experiences to help individuals and organizations of all sizes survive and thrive in this disruption.

  • Quadratic Funding

    Glen Weyl is the co-inventor of Quadratic Funding, the hottest new approach to supporting social entrepreneurship and cross silo-collaboration within companies, is Microsoft’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer, Political Economist, and Social Technologist and Founder of the RadicalxChange Foundation.

    Glen will explain how QF works, how it has been mathematically proven as the optimal way to support public goods, and how it is transforming open-source software, the blockchain, media, and social service provision. Whether you’re looking to tap the wisdom of your employees to catalyze new cross-company entrepreneurship or catalyze effective charitable giving, QF is one of the most powerful tools available today, and there’s no one better to learn about it than its pioneer.

  • Antitrust and Digital Competition

    Glen Weyl, a former professor of economics at the University of Chicago, developed the economic theory behind many recent advances in antitrust policy, from the 2010 US merger guidelines to the use of antitrust to protect workers. As Microsoft’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer Political Economist and Social Technologist, he is today at the forefront of technology competition and regulatory policy.

    His talk will cover some of the most innovative approaches to addressing the problems of technology monopoly platforms, including treating data as labor, forming collective bargaining institutions such as data coalitions, the democratization or utilization of platforms and the use of new open protocols to facilitating meaningful portability. Today every company is a digital company and we all depend on the infrastructure controlled by a few dominant technology platforms. Here is a clear glimpse into the future that will determine the fate of your business and how you can shape it.
