Putting technology to public service.

Meet me at the Ministry of Experiments: https://ministryofexperiments.substack.com/
A year ago, I started mapping the Latin American deep tech ecosystem, betting that geopolitics and natural wealth would make the region a new battlefront in the global tech race. Seems like we're onto something: ministryofexperiments.substack.com/p/the-new-ba...

I spoke with @citiestoday.bsky.social about cities as pioneers for public-interest AI. Direct citizen relationships and universal needs make cities ideal labs to put AI to public service. The interview is based on work with @geoffmulgan.bsky.social and tial.org

The changes in power we are witnessing can be summed up as a conflict between absurdity and common sense. If we do not understand and accept absurdity, we cannot reverse, revolt, or reform it. What should policymakers do in the Age of Absurdity? ministryofexperiments.substack.com/p/policymaki...

This is an urgent read by Monica Duffy Toft. Today, overlooking, misinterpreting, and not reacting to changes in global power dynamics means yielding autonomy to new spheres of influence.
For the time being, the United States is no longer serving as a reliable stabilizer for the world order, argues Monica Duffy Toft. The return of spheres of influence could lead to a transition back to the power politics of earlier eras.
