Only a formality now. Time to start getting ready for the #AIAct.

Given pressures on public finances whoever wins the next election will need public services to improve impact with limited resources. So this is a timely (and short!) review by @halima_khan1 on what is meant by public sector innovation ircaucus.ac.uk/publications/…

I wish I had seen this - on a digital stack and open standards for research - before doing my recent paper on evidence ecosystems, since it fills a crucial gap. Another example of India leapfrogging over the West. fast-india.org/wp-content/up… geoffmulgan.com/post/evidenc…

Just a reminder that applications are now open for our year-long flagship course Introduction to Political Technology! This year, in addition to the six residential places, we are pleased to offer six non-residential places on the course.
Course participants spend a year immersed in a wide range of communities working to change society with technology, everything from civil servants, activists, charities, journalists, to researchers. The course is designed to support mid-career technologists to develop a holistic understanding of the civic landscape in the UK, in order to found groundbreaking new projects or seek strategic positions in key institutions.
The course has run since 2015 and has graduated 76 fellows. 2024-25 is the second year in which the course will include content led by Newspeak House’s faculty, a group with broad experience in branches of political technology practice and theory including political organising, collective behaviour, institutional design, open source software, and game design.
The course entails a commitment of approximately 16 hours per week and is designed to fit around a day job. Take a look: newspeak.house/study-with-us
