Brilliant keynote from @rdietkus.bsky.social at #sdingov about public services as care.
She also talked about hypernormalisation. This world were living in and what were witnessing is not normal.
“There's wo truths, what we feel in our bodies and what the world insists we perform”

Love the focus on choice: we can choose how/if we use AI! Dystopia is not inevitable! @elmosmoe.bsky.social #sdingov

So many great points being made by Steph Wright on AI in today’s keynote. #sdingov Copilot Agents are here, slowly creeping into our workflows. Local Gov needs more support in how to:
- design for fairness
- mitigate bias
- measure accuracy of agents
- design for human in control
- design for fairness
