📣 Big news: I’ve signed a contract with @politybooks for a monograph, tentatively titled Recoding Democracy: AI and the Fight for Democracy’s Future. 📖 The #book will argue that #AI forces us to reassess what makes democracy valuable and how that value should be realized. 1/

Sharing a vital conversation between @tlechtable & @gabramosp at @IEuniversity on how universities must lead in the AI era. 🎓🌐 In a polarized world, universities & international institutions need to build bridges and drive change. It’s not the tech, but how we integrate it

From impartial debate mediators to a full-blown ‘algocracy’, we have to think carefully about how AI will impact politics.

But I’ll also show that many preoccupations in public discourse about AI’s democratic threats blind us to deeper questions about technology and legitimate power. 3/

It seeks to crystallize claims I’ve been developing for some years on the politics of AI and politics with AI. Given rising worries about the durability of democratic institutions, rethinking the foundations and possibilities of democratic ideals could not be more important. 2/

How can social entrepreneurship contribute to social justice? @johannamair and I have a new piece out in @SSIReview, arguing that building institutional capacity is key. The piece stems from a larger study recently published in @osofficer on John Rawls and social enterprise.

Understanding how social innovation directly affects people’s lives is essential. But by focusing primarily on measurable impacts on individuals, we risk falling into familiar traps. @tlechtable & @johannamair take an organizational approach:
