I spoke with @citiestoday.bsky.social about cities as pioneers for public-interest AI. Direct citizen relationships and universal needs make cities ideal labs to put AI to public service. The interview is based on work with @geoffmulgan.bsky.social and tial.org cities-today.com/new-blueprin...

To manage innovation, governments must fix procurement - Centre for Future Generations

As governments worldwide race to find more money to invest in technology and defence in a more divided world, they risk neglecting an essential and often badly used tool: procurement.

This is an urgent read by Monica Duffy Toft. Today, overlooking, misinterpreting, and not reacting to changes in global power dynamics means yielding autonomy to new spheres of influence.
