Code and Country: How AI Will Change Politics and Policy Forever

He is also editor-in-chief of Lux’s Riskgaming publication. With a career spanning venture capital, policy research, and journalism, Crichton brings a rare perspective on how innovation is shaped not only by markets but also by political forces.

His writing has appeared in the Foreign Policy Research Institute, City Journal, and National Review.
