Spent last week in Singapore at ATxSummit with many forward thinking folks in government, advisories, and enterprise talking about Content Authenticity and online harms. It's a place in the world where thoughtful, pragmatic measures are being taken. There was a lot for me to learn. Thank CATOS, IMDA

What a pleasure to be a guest at @mouniribrahim.bsky.social's Digital Content Provenance class at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). This is the first course of its kind. The conversation was inspiring and so very relevant to this moment in history.

One thing we all have in common right now is grappling with great change. No great wisdom here, but for me here’s what’s working: Be kind. Keep learning. Get out of the comfort zone, as a means toward the other two. Peace.
