@DominionEnergy Well, we've crossed the 24 hour mark. Your map no longer shows an outage in my area, though your app tells me that I am without power and there is no ETA. How can I be assured you are actually working the issue? "Tomorrow" is a pretty vague window.

@khoney here is an explanation https://t.co/t5Bh4NFqtZ

@statwonk But serious question...to my understanding, these things are not designed to give facts in the first place. That they do is a fluke, not a designed outcome, no? They are creative writers.

[Daniel Morgan @dsmorgan77]

this. and the same goes for everything else. substitute the word "technology" or "software" or "device" where you see the word "AI" and ask, "does the meaning of the sentence change?" if no, then you're not saying anything about AI.

[Daniel Castro @castrotech]

The better option is to regulate final products and services. For example, medical devices must be safe, and those safety requirements apply whether or not AI is involved.

@dominiccampbell @digiphile @WhiteHouse @NeeraTanden46 @WHCOS nah, it's teeming with awards https://t.co/0R5GL0pVwD but maybe the people working on benefits should talk to the people also working on benefits and expand the vision?

[Daniel Morgan @dsmorgan77]

@digiphile @dominiccampbell @WhiteHouse @NeeraTanden46 @WHCOS remember this classic from 2002's e-government act? https://t.co/SogTkdk2Tv

@jowyang i have been trying to explain how all this comes together and this was the first picture that resonated with me

CDOs are key for delivering on the promise of equitable data. @jheckmanWFED captured the details at last week's Federal CDO Council public mtg: https://t.co/EOdgNx3Aco

@abhinemani oh, i think the question sucks and what you have described about how they presented it is all sorts of bad practice. :-)

[Daniel Morgan @dsmorgan77]

@abhinemani just like in sales or CX, i think you want to instrument the whole funnel to measure outcomes for groups and sense disparities across the stages. can't achieve DEIA goals if folks aren't applying in the first place...

[Daniel Morgan @dsmorgan77]

@abhinemani well, like any other demographic data (i'm sure you were asked race & ethnicity questions), the collection of this information (especially in the job application context) should be voluntary.

[Daniel Morgan @dsmorgan77]

@NickRHart @OMBPress @ShalandaYoung46 huh. i had assumed that every agency uses the /budget convention. it works for many of the CFO Act agencies. but not all.
