His authorship of Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence signals a contribution to critical and political debates about AI rather than purely technical development. As an academic employed at Goldsmiths, University of London and holder of a doctorate, McQuillan contributes research outputs to scholarly repositories and public discourse through multiple platforms (website, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu) and social media channels. His recorded identifiers in library and authority systems (GND, VIAF, Library of Congress) ensure his work is catalogued and discoverable. Without his published perspective and academic presence, there would be one fewer documented interdisciplinary voice combining AI critique, communication theory, and a background that includes nuclear physics in UK academia. ## Notable For - Author of Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence. - Employed by Goldsmiths, University of London; start of recorded work period in 2020. - Holds a doctorate and is identified in major authority files (GND 1272730557; VIAF 23166922027243510923; LC Authority no2022129099). - Active academic and public profile across ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Google Scholar, and an official website (https://danmcquillan.org/). - Public social presence: Twitter (@danmcquillan), Mastodon (danmcquillan@kolektiva.social), Bluesky (danmcquillan.bsky.social). ## Body ### Personal details - Full name: Dan McQuillan - Given name: Dan - Family name: McQuillan - Birth year: 2000 - Sex/gender: Male - Citizenship: United Kingdom - Languages: English ### Academic status and qualifications - Academic degree: Doctorate (no institution specified in the provided material). - Start of recorded work period: 2020. - Fields of work: Artificial intelligence; communication scholarship; nuclear physics. ### Employment and affiliation - Employer: Goldsmiths, University of London (listed affiliation). - Professional webpages: Official website (https://danmcquillan.org/); Goldsmiths Academia.edu profile (https://goldsmiths.academia.edu/DanMcQuillan). ### Publications and outputs - Notable work: Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence (listed as his notable work). - Academic discovery and profile identifiers: Google Scholar author ID 7e1W_LcAAAAJ; ResearchGate profile Dan-Mcquillan; Academia.edu profile at Goldsmiths. - Library and authority identifiers: GND 1272730557; VIAF 23166922027243510923 and 12166714081726882719; Library of Congress Authority ID no2022129099; Open Library ID OL15687399A; Amazon author ID B0C1XJQZN7. ### Online and social presence - Official website and blog: https://danmcquillan.org/ - Twitter: @danmcquillan - Mastodon: danmcquillan@kolektiva.social (active since 2022-11-18) - Bluesky: danmcquillan.bsky.social (active since 2023-09-19) ### Identifiers and cataloging - GND ID: 1272730557 - VIAF IDs: 23166922027243510923; 12166714081726882719 - Library of Congress Authority ID: no2022129099 - Other IDs: idref 274060256; bibsys 1692596258052; national library of israel J9U 987012159981705171; Google Knowledge Graph /g/11f2bq3817 (End of entry.) ## References 1.
