Technology, Culture, Policy, and Politics: Let's use technology to build a balanced and just society where everyone can thrive.

Who pays for AI's productivity dividend?

I asked what the response to OpenAI's intrusion into Medicare's statistics portal had cost. Nobody could tell me.

@TECollab There’s much more in the full California AI Compass, produced with @TECollab.

More Californians are using AI. Fewer feel positive about it.

Our new California AI Compass, with @TECollab, explores that gap: who AI is being built for, how it affects people’s lives, and what they want lawmakers to do.

Some findings 🧵

[Daniel Stone @danielstone]

@TECollab Californians want safeguards, but confidence in government’s ability to control AI remains low. Net trust is −19 points for California’s government and −34 for Washington.

The demand for action comes with a challenge: earning the public’s trust by delivering.

[Daniel Stone @danielstone]

@TECollab 75% want a human to make the final decision when a worker is disciplined or fired, rather than an AI system acting alone. Just 8% oppose.

Worker consultation and disclosure of AI-driven job cuts also win strong support.

[Daniel Stone @danielstone]

@TECollab People with higher AI literacy are less concerned about it. But even in the highest-literacy group, 66% choose strong laws over trusting companies to act freely. Understanding AI and wanting safeguards go together.

The real question isn’t regulation vs. innovation—it’s who builds AI, who controls it, and who it serves. At the Paris Summit, a new vision emerged: Public Interest AI. But can it work? I break it down in @techpolicypress : https://t.co/8MG2TIMEKu

Why doesn't tech policy matter to voters? A big reason: advocates speak in abstractions, ignoring what matters to ordinary people—their jobs, homes, and families. In @techpolicypress, I share how to change the conversation to create a fairer future https://t.co/5LXmqc1gDz

@nabii I've always wanted to, but I feel too self-conscious! I just know Brenda from accounts will worry I'm about to rob her.

@FlintCasey Funnily enough, this is the first tweet to load after getting stuck in this very loop for 5 minutes. Ultimately had to open the app and then SEARCH for the tweet I was sent 🙄

[Daniel Stone @danielstone]

TikTok and WeChat are compromised? Of course. But expecting accountability - for platforms to incorporate in Australia (i.e. be visible to Aus law) and to actively participate in regulatory processes seems entirely reasonable. Why the hesitation?
