Unlike generic directories, this selection is curated using explicit social and editorial filters: award recognition, verified X status, follower threshold, and Substack topical focus. The result is a targeted shortlist of authors relevant to futurism and AI ethics rather than an unsorted database of every author.
This list is most useful for publishers, event organizers, and PR teams seeking authoritative US-based voices on futurism or AI ethics with large engaged audiences. It also serves researchers and podcasters looking for credible authors who maintain active Substack newsletters and strong X followings.
Profiles were filtered for award-winning status, US location, verified X accounts, a minimum of 200,000 followers, and regular Substack newsletters focused on futurism or AI ethics. Additional vetting considered recent newsletter activity and public engagement metrics to ensure relevance.
Authors are US-wide but tend to cluster in major tech and media hubs such as San Francisco, New York, and Washington, D.C., where futurism and AI ethics discourse is active. The list makes geographic distribution transparent so users can prioritize regional outreach or national engagement strategies.
