"I think the consequences if we do nothing to reduce #emissions will be terrible, but I also understand that if we actually want to do something about it, we need to understand the problem accurately – and build a broad and durable political coalition that can navigate through the complexity"

🔥 Are we sleepwalking into a digital future we don’t control?

I had the privilege of speaking with Rob van Kranenburg, a thought leader who has spent decades studying the collision of technology, policy, and human rights. He challenges the way we think about IoT, data, and governance in ways that left me inspired but deeply concerned.

Let’s start this conversation. Any feedback is very welcome!

I also don't understand why the #US stops applying #socialSecurity #tax beyond a certain amount of #income.

That's regressive, no?

This allows the highest earners to contribute a smaller portion of their income to social security than those who earn only the taxable range. 🤔

If people want social security to be sufficiently funded, one easy way to get closer to this goal would be to remove this #policy's cap on how much income can be taxed by social security.

“[…] #AI in #policymaking would make it more precarious and increase outsourcing and privatisation under the cover of over-hyped technology. [It's] a form of ‘shock doctrine’, where the sense of urgency generated by an allegedly world-transforming technology is used as an opportunity for corporate capture and to transform social systems in frankly authoritarian directions without reflection or democratic debate”

Joseph Rowntree FoundationPublic policymaking: from AI to decomputingAI seems to offer many benefits to public policymaking, but it can't address the tricky structural issues that impede actual change.
