🌟ASCENDER SPOTLIGHT: E. Glen Weyl
What if democracy itself could innovate?
@glenweyl founder of @RadxChange has spent years exploring new ways for people to cooperate, make collective decisions, and distribute power in an increasingly digital world.
His work challenges an assumption we find especially interesting at Our Ascent Live:
Our institutions don't have to remain frozen while technology evolves around them.
Ascender Spotlight recognizes people building pieces of a more participatory future and brings their idea into public conversation.

If you could redesign one part of democracy for the digital age what would you change? 🗽📡

🎙️Meet Audrey Tang (@audreyt), founder at Plurality, at #WebX2026 on July 13-14th.
Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s Cyber Ambassador-at-large and 1st Digital Minister (2016-2024), is celebrated for her pioneering efforts in digital democracy. Named one of TIME’s “100 Most Influential People in AI” in 2023, Tang was instrumental in shaping Taiwan’s internationally acclaimed COVID-19 response and in safeguarding the 2024 presidential and legislative elections from foreign cyber interference.
Tang is now focused on broadening her vision of Plurality — technology for collaborative diversity — to inspire global audiences.

CALL TO ACTION | Governments must act now to manage AI for the public good
Elders and leading Artificial Intelligence experts urge governments to tackle escalating AI risks to ensure technology serves humanity, rather than endangering it.
Read in full ⬇️
ALT Governments must act now to manage AI for the public good
ALT We reject claims that governments cannot or should not regulate AI: because technology moves too quickly, because companies will regulate themselves, because geopolitical competition matters more than public safety. These narratives are all misleading.

Please, when you reach out to someone who you think is a “public figure”, remember first that they’re human beings too.
You won’t believe that even with the announcements I’ve made this week about welcoming a child, there’s been no day this week that has passed, without someone reaching out to ask for my time or money.
Some even start their messages acknowledging the news I shared.
Why are we so self-centered and inconsiderate?
If your message is anything but informative, please don’t message me in this time. Thanks.

Most social media algorithms are designed to drive division and profit—”enragement equals engagement.” But Taiwan’s cyber ambassador @audreyt says that bringing people together can actually be profitable, too.
“People are addicted to the outrage because again it's easier to hack our taste buds … than to cook something really healthy,” says Taiwan’s cyber ambassador, Audrey Tang. “On the other hand, people do enjoy finding that uncommon ground. The thrill of finding an uncommon ground is actually comparable or even higher.”

Honoré d’avoir pris part, en septembre dernier, sur invitation du pape Léon XIV, à la Conférence mondiale sur la fraternité humaine au Vatican, aux côtés de 100 journalistes venus du monde entier et de plusieurs Prix Nobel de la paix dont Maria Ressa, Denis Mukwege, Tawakkol Karman et Nadia Mourad. Dans un monde fracturé, le pape a lancé un appel clair : "Non à la guerre, oui à la paix et à la fraternité. Un message puissant pour refuser l’indifférence, bâtir des ponts malgré nos différences, et faire de la fraternité une force d’avenir. Rendez-vous bientôt en #Algérie. @vaticannews_fr @VaticanNews
