Jason Zhao
I grew up in Texas and live in California.
I studied Philosophy and Computer Science at Stanford, and I previously worked at DeepMind on reinforcement learning and built a protocol for intellectual property at PIP Labs.
I love philosophy, history, and technology.
I’m currently exploring new institutions.
I’m interested in:
- Building a new talent engine to train millions of Americans for enduring, meaningful work
- Reviving the intellectual tradition of the public lecture
- Exploring what a "Wikipedia for Careers" should look like
- Worthy physical, intellectual, and political frontiers to address Turner’s Frontier Thesis
- Solutions to the Böckenförde Dilemma
- Land reform and Georgist experiments in California
- Political markets and methods to predict election outcomes
- Accelerating the scientific method through self-driving labs and new foundation models
- All things space (especially astrobiology)
