Philip Wallach is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who studies America's separation of powers, with a focus on the relationship between Congress and the administrative state. His 2023 book Why Congress argues that the legislative branch sits at the heart of the constitutional system and warns that its self-imposed irrelevance is letting the executive and the courts rush into the vacuum. A Princeton-trained scholar and a fixture in debates over regulatory policy, DOGE, and congressional reform, he writes for outlets ranging from National Affairs to the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.

Dean Ball is a leading AI policy scholar, writer, and former White House advisor who shaped America's AI strategy from the inside. As Senior Fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation, co-host of the AI Summer podcast, and author of the widely-read Hyperdimensional newsletter, he makes the case for market-driven, light-touch governance of frontier AI - arguing that private governance mechanisms, not government mandates, are the right framework for the most transformative technology of our time.
