Our argument is that public money is where Public AI starts, not where it ends. Without public control and a publicly decided purpose, investment buys capacity that others will steer https://t.co/mHic41ojTy

Kim Stanley Robinson at IID reminds us of the depth of the carbon overshoot and of the vital importance of institutional innovation to be ready for shifts of political will
A piece in Civil Service World by me and @leoquattrucci on how to reform public procurement - 12% of GDP in the OECD countries so worth paying some attention to! https://t.co/I4JVb1HA5a
