The crimes you’re convicted of should determine your punishment, not who you are. But even in Norway – one of the “fairest” criminal justice systems – @lhreports.bsky.social & NRK reveal that there are disparities in sentence length by income and gender www.lighthousereports.com/methodology/...

If AI could bring enormous benefits to humanity, but also threatens to put us all out of work and concentrate economic production in the hands of a few, what should our policy approach be?

@matteonebbiai.bsky.social on AI and disinformation, after this year of elections. Building (also) on top of @sayash.bsky.social & @randomwalker.bsky.social to say that “regulators should NOT focus on AI disinformation”. Clear and interesting 💡 You should def subscribe to his Substack!

AI amplifying biorisk has been a major focus in AI policy & governance work. Is the spotlight merited? Our recent cross-institutional work asks: Does the available evidence match the current level of attention? 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2412.01946

This is a wonderful program from @isi.it! I was a Lagrange Fellow in 2023-24 and I learnt soooo much. Highly recommended for anyone curious about data science for social impact, especially if thinking about a PhD. Apply! And kudos to @ccattuto.bsky.social and the whole team for organizing it!

Yup! This integration of conversation-centered communities is very good. Happy to see more of this practice with shared tooling — possibly with Frankly.org as a mezzo level between wikisurvey and in-person assemblies. @lessig.bsky.social

Been talking a lot recently with people in government about how to spread innovation. Just reminded myself of this Nesta report with lots of great practical tips. It's worth reading if you work in this space / share with followers who might. media.nesta.org.uk/documents/20...

I know people will be irked by the word ‘start-up’ here but I do think this is a meaningful step in the right direction. The basic principles they’re gesturing to must be right. 1/n

Went to the speech this morning. A few thoughts. TL;DR - I thought it was really good, but of course lots of tricky challenges to work through. 🧵

It’s 5yrs and waiting since the EU boasted that a €142mn “smart borders” system would see it biometrically track people in/out of the bloc. Atos, a French IT firm cosy with Brussels, was supposed to do the bulk of the job. Documents obtained by @lhreports.bsky.social @bloomberg.com reveal a fiasco
