Our #privacy holds considerable social & economic value, but the U.S.'s current approach to privacy consistently undervalues it. On #DataPrivacyDay, we revisit an OTI article highlighting the need for a privacy valuation framework. bit.ly/45x7h25

Our new series, "Tech for the People, by the People," kicks off with a spotlight of Digital Service for the Planet fellow JR Washebek. Washebek discusses starting a career at the intersection of AI & conservation & shares her hope for the future of #AI. www.newamerica.org/technology-a...
A graphic with a photo of JR and a quote from her that reads: "...if we move early, if we develop our own AI literacy and build these tools for our communities rather than waiting for them to be built for us, we get to shape what that redistribution looks like."
