Robin Hanson is an associate professor of economics at George Mason University. He is known as an expert on idea futures markets and was involved in the creation of the Foresight Exchange and DARPA's FutureMAP project.

He is also known for inventing Market Scoring Rules like LMSR (Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule) used by prediction markets such as Inkling Markets and Washington Stock Exchange, and has conducted research on signaling. Hanson has expressed great disappointment in the cancellation of the FutureMAP project, and he attributes this to the controversy surrounding the related Total Information Awareness program.

He supports a proposed system of government called 'futarchy', where policies would be determined by prediction markets. He is the lead editor for the Overcoming Bias blog of the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University.

    This is disappointing. The entire second half of the session that I devoted to an interactive discussion is missing. Many of the slides from the basic talk are not shown, and some are shown at the wrong times.

    Email me the corrections you want made and I'll revise the draft. I can't pick up audio coming from behind the camera with a uni-directional microphone.
