ALT A graphic featuring a navy-blue silhouette of California overlaid with three overlapping circles containing icons for a briefcase, laptop and microphone promotes the third pilot for Engaged California. The headline states that AI policy should be shaped by people and the subheads state that AI is changing how we do work in California. What do you want the State of California to know about how AI is affecting you? Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s cyber ambassador, first digital minister, architect of the Taiwan Model for digital diplomacy and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate, is a partner in advancing Engaged California and California’s digital democracy effort. https://www.gov.ca.gov/2026/05/07/governor-newsom-launches-engaged-california-statewide-for-the-first-time-to-give-all-californians-a-stronger-voice-in-ai-policy/
All Californians are invited to join Engaged California, a statewide effort to give residents a stronger voice in shaping AI policy and its impact on our economy and workers — because everyone deserves a seat at the table.

So with @AnthropicAI enabling “search” in Claude, and @OpenAI already offering this capability — is “search” now just a feature of a bigger shift in how we interact with information?

"The history of spirituality tells us we must learn to accept paradoxes, or we will never love anything or see it correctly... The modern phenomenon of fundamentalism displays an almost complete incapacity to deal with paradox, & shows how much we’ve regressed."

I'm excited about @collect_intel and @audreyt testing a step toward more productive AI policy discourse: pol.is/2fafhz9s2m
For intl diplo, large-scale deliberation yielding common ground is powerful in building cross-regional coalitions with critical mass.

Hours after the Nashville shooting, students led Braver Angels Debates on the Second Amendment and assault weapons. However, these students were not trying to “own” their opponents, but communally pursue the truth with them.

For the first three forms of democratisation, “democratisation” is used almost synonymously with “increasing accessibility”.
The democratisation of AI governance, however, is about balancing these questions of accessibility with other societal needs and values.

The SVB narrative is about the depositor bailout, but the real plunder will come when regulators sell off SVB assets (last week worth $15bn) at yard sale prices, when instead those assets could help finance a democratic bank.
