Praxis CEO Dryden Brown to Launch AI-Driven City in Uruguay by 2027
Dryden Brown, the 30-year-old CEO of Praxis, is developing an AI-powered city in Uruguay with initial residents expected in mid-2027. The project, backed by investors including a fund associated with Peter Thiel, aims to explore societal structures in the age of artificial general intelligence. Brown plans to meet with Uruguayan President Yamandu Orsi this week to discuss the initiative, which will be built within the +Colonia development near Colonia del Sacramento. While Brown previously advocated for a self-governing city-state, he has agreed to comply with Uruguayan law for the initial phase. The company intends to mobilize $1 billion in investment over three years, using home sales to fund cultural and artistic endeavors inspired by ancient Greece and Rome.
