Will Dunn’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I launched the New Statesman's regular Spotlight supplement in early 2016 and have been editing it since then. In November 2017, Spotlight won BSME Launch of the Year. I write features for both Spotlight and the main New Statesman, on subjects from policy and business to film and food.

Before working at the New Statesman I edited Stuff, the consumer technology magazine, which had an audited circulation of over 70,000 and more than 15 international editions at the time I edited it.

AI's silent coup

|
By Will Dunn Verified
| The Saturday Read Verified
Good morning. This Will Dunn, business editor of the New Statesman. Over the past year I have conducted dozens of interviews with current and former ministers, officials and advisors, technologists and MPs about our government’s headlong rush into the AI future.

Ma l’impressione generale è quella di una normalità terrificante.
