I've been here for over ten years, and have found this site immensely useful for my career, but it's gotten less and less useful over time in that regard.

For those who want to keep following me, I'll be posting and following here: https://t.co/F9WpfTpZyW.

Some pretty innovative use of Tech by Urban teams to create a scorecard that allows project developers, advocates, and others to better assess the potential social impact of local development projects.

I'm hiring a few data viz developers for my team at @urbaninstitute! This could be a great fit for folks interested in informing the policy debate through data, storytelling and design and working at the intersection of research, comms and data science https://t.co/w2Lxyc3KIM

@AlexCEngler Very helpful, thanks Alex!

Hey folks, seeing as many of the favorite people I follow are moving to Mastodon (and Twitter rarely recommends their tweets to me anymore anyway), please let me know if you've moved there, and if so your handle. I'd love to follow you there.

(find me there at the same handle)

A new Data@Urban. Why consistency and clarity in data privacy terminology is important, why we're not there yet and the field should work on it, and what we're doing here at Urban to contribute. https://t.co/gRyz60RPJ9

@AlexCEngler Take: It bothers me that they don't ever define AI in the blueprint + conflate it with the broad definition of "automated systems". Seems like both the harms and the precedents for regulation are different if we're talking about AI as DL automated systems (AS), vs AS generally...

@jschwabish @kncukier Interesting. So am I reading it right that the question is about firms that used AI, but then stopped and used people power instead? And does AI mean ML here, or the looser marketing meaning of any automated technical or data innovation?

[Claire McKay Bowen @ClaireMKBowen]

Less than a week away till #JSM2022!

If you're interested in federal statistics, #DataPrivacy, and #PublicPolicy, check out this session I'm chairing!

[Rob Santos @_Rob_Santos]

Heads up, data scientists! Opportunity awaits you!

[@[email protected] @GrahamIMac]

This is really impressive work from a broad group of people, bipartisan and non-controversial and will allow the country to use data, with strict privacy protections, to innovate and improve.

Among everyone, a big kudos to @NickRHart for his tireless work in moving this forward.

Buried in the details of large bipartisan omnibus bills approved by Congress there are always monumental changes -- here's the story of one: the creation of the National Secure Data Service in the #CHIPSAndScienceAct. / 🧵https://t.co/gFTjfd4J4Z
