This article on how AI defines “beautiful” women takes what feels obvious and makes it matter. It is surprising and hard to read and made me feel and wonder. It is proof of why we need, will always need, human journalists who know their craft. washingtonpost.com/technolog…

@awichowski great talk today at #datauniverse. Was reminded of Thomas R Dye and ‘Who’s running America?’ Was not entirely surprised that this extended to the early tech founder generation. Fascinating.

No election is free or fair without access to information & public participation.
We need transparent policies & practices, anchored in human rights to build back trust & uphold democracy.

Lovely final talk by @awichowski, who shared a meditation on our need to design more humane tech that enables healthier connection & community, beyond today’s social media. Reminds me of what @Ghonim wanted in @parlio, or the intent of pol.is. Good provocations.

🎧@ColumbiaSIPA adjunct @awichowski joined @NorwayCGSanFran and Cecilie Hersleth on the 'Tech Diplomacy' Podcast to discuss the growing impact of Big Tech on geopolitics, and her book 'The Information Trade' which outlined her concept of 'Net-States'.

Long time indeed @benjamindean - 2013 when I wrote about early days of Twitter diplomacy @StateDept @USUN for @ForeignAffairs (feels like a lifetime ago!) foreignaffairs.com/articles/…
It is 2022 and this stuff happens on social media. I recall when @awichowski pointed out that this would happen and that was a LONG time ago.
I met the extraordinary Marijka @MHoczko when I was a surly-as-hell 15 yr old, thinking there’s no way my soon-to-be stepmom could impress me. But it’s Marijka! She radiates warmth & kindness & love, I was instantly entranced-and forever grateful she’s my family #UkrainiansWeLove
"If you need an hour to explain your argument, it means you don’t have a very good argument": excellent insight by @McFaul on how even Putin can't justify his invasion of #Ukraine - read full interview by @j_tepperman @OctavianReport octavian.substack.com/p/war-…
My birthday is also Holocaust Remembrance Day and it always reminds me I'm damned lucky for another year on this earth & I better make it count. Kicking off this one donating @ArtSpiegelmaus #Maus to #NirvanaComics (Gofundme link in below!) wbir.com/article/news/local/…
Thanks @q_impact! Happy 2022! :)

Interesting: not only have media firms become partisan and polarized, but so have tech services like cloud storage and crypto. @mikeallen @zacharybasu @awichowski axios.com/newsletters/axios-…… #axiosam
So grateful for fascinating session w/@biblauer @mr_nickrod & Rebeca Brito @EnapGovBr Innovation Week! Tips for government folks: 1. invest in your people, 2. train them on data tools, 3. reject "noble misery" (public service can't sustain if it requires endless self-sacrifice!)
