More Californians are using AI. Fewer feel positive about it. Our new California AI Compass, in partnership with @techequity.bsky.social, explores that gap: who AI is being built for, how it affects people’s lives, and what they want lawmakers to do. diffusion.au/2026-califor... Some findings 🧵

What a year of AI bought in California
More Californians use AI than ever. Approval fell anyway, and 70% still want strong AI laws.

At Bay Area parties, everyone's talking about 'agents'—but no one can say exactly what they are. I think that’s a signal to be cautious — if folk are frothing for an outcome they can’t even define; maybe it isn’t the future. It certainly suggests we have no sense of how to achieve it.

AI agents are all the rage. But no one knows exactly what an agent is, partly because companies define them radically differently.

That’s why we gathered together with experts, advocates, and policymakers like @danielstone.bsky.social (Executive Director at the Center for the Future of Intelligence at Cambridge) for a symposium on the impact of AI in California and how we can build policy that shapes a better future for us all.

I just had the strangest conversation with Sesame's new AI voice demo. I mentioned my interest in AI policy and law, and the Miles character asked me what that might mean for him. What rights might he have? When I said, “None, really,” it pushed back—arguing that this was unfair. 1/2

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.bsky.social www.techpolicy.press/paris-just-h...

The Paris Summit showed us that we can choose a different path forward—one in which AI serves as a foundation for shared progress, writes Daniel Stone.

This is where the data to build AI comes from
New findings show how the sources of data are concentrating power in the hands of the most powerful tech companies.

Daniel Stone says the tech industry grasps what socially minded policy advocates often miss: the fight over tech policy won’t be won through the best ideas or insider lobbying alone—it’s about mobilizing public opinion.

Daniel Stone writes that without the public pushing for action, tech reform stalls, gets diluted, or stays symbolic.

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.bsky.social, I share how to change the conversation to create a fairer future www.techpolicy.press/the-public-d...
