Like it or not, this absolutely changes the security and threat prevention model for digital government. Every worst-case scenario conjured by civil society orgs and rights advocates - the things people say will never happen - is unfolding at pace. Relying on lawful benevolence is not enough.
It’s why I call it “a coup data” : the capture/destruction/leakage of federal data flows that function as its core source of power

Looking for papers / reports / case studies that show that ethics committees for AI governance in the public sector are usually "ethics washing" and a waste of time. Any tips (or counterexamples)? cc @anabrandusescu.bsky.social @blairaf.com @biancawylie.com @techtonicjustice.bsky.social
