The stages of collective intelligence

Love this work! For the same ride on the same time getting a different price -- that's an unfair practice (call it whatever you want). Would love to collaborate with this team on those topics! @consumerreports.org

Can we democratize the institutions we participate in? Our new #FAccT2026 paper takes steps to do it in-house -- within the FAccT community itself. TLDR: large-scale participatory design reveals things about a community that surveys and town halls can't. 🧵 1/

And yet we wait for commencement speeches to be booed to start engaging with our students. We need to get them a seat at the table.

We can avoid this slop by Democratizing workplaces!

NLPerspectives workshop is less than a week! Are you ready? We'll have 🎤 Federico Cabitza keynote 📜 Posters ⭕ Participatory session 🚣 Panel 🧑‍🍳 Dinner (check in with us where we plan to go) Looking forward to seeing everyone on May 12, room 4 #LREC! 🏝️

Tired of conferences where you just sit and listen? 🥱 NLPerspectives 2026 features a 90-minute participatory session where we tackle the field's biggest challenges together, at round tables, and with your ideas we are directly co-shaping the Perspectivism field -- let's do it together! 🚀

So good to see! That’s a great achievement! I hope they are collaborating with phone-free schools

We need more phone-free environments!

People who call themselves AI safety experts should be loud in this moment, but sadly you wouldn't hear them while Anthropic is selling us out.

Who says they were given any social permission. Why do we keep buying into his investments?

Take a look at this- I think Semble is going to be a key part of achieving a Pivot to Wiki via atproto.

Are we heading to a society in which AI would reduce societal gaps? If anything, we're headed to exacerbate them instead. My new blogpost on AI and fairness. shirandudy.leaflet.pub/3mbkogdh3b22x

Finally serious steps towards co-governance. Now York city is walking the walk and to democratically involve its residents in deciding how to make the city work better for them. I hope more municipalities and other institutions would draw inspiration from NYC's Office of Mass Engagement 💫 🎯

An inspiring discussion that offers a glimpse into how these AI systems promote an anti-black agenda by @drtanksley.bsky.social

Nothing like IRL launch energy @wesleyfinck.org 😄

I was sure it was a myth that dems still offer thoughts at this point. I really wanted to believe they can meet the moment with actions 🤦🏻‍♀️

We need more visions like this to a future where we all are part of and not just a few at the top.

How do you know this version of #DEMS will lose? It is stuck on yesteryear talking points set by someone else. What a waste of time. I'm so glad to see ppl like #Mamdani who controls narrative.

Horrific Evidence!! OpenAI has acknowledged that ChatGPT "becomes less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model's safety training may degrade." 🔄 This admission raises critical questions about AI safety at scale.

The EU/Latin American's shouldn't focus on winning the AI race, but should be focused on solving people's problems. As simple as THAT. We (all) need a different game to win in 🎲✨ A great episode of @techwontsave.us by @parismarx.com interviewing @ceciliarikap.bsky.social at techwontsave.us

Being flooded with loads of data we all contribute to the ecosystem, we need more ways to make sense of it, and not let it go down the drain. Go Cosmik! 🔥

"what about the gun aspect of the gun violence?" 😆

Calibration of expectations and AI Auditing are one of the most important angles to work on as long as AI is massively deployed. These chatbots should be designed, rather than just to provide an answer, to communicate how contextually relevant are, and how connected to reality, so *we* get to choose

Our session we'll be key to get the voting and participation ready and attendees can be early voters (participators) 🦉 It happens Today! Thursday, June 26, 15:15 to 16:15 in Amphitheatre Ioannis Despotopoulos. 🤫 #FAccT2025

Dear friends, We are excited to invite you to join our CRAFT session “Taking Stock at FAccT: Insights through Participatory Design”. Our goal is to enable the community of FAccT to reflect on experiences and expectations we have had of FAccT and envision its future. #FAccT2025

This session is the result of a wonderful collaboration team: @shirandudy.bsky.social & Jan Simson!

So thrilled to take part in reflecting on #FAccT2025 together! Have you ever took part in participatory design? Have you ever used hashtag #po.lis for that? Do you want the share your thoughts about FAccT? If you answered YES to any of it, come by our session!

Hope this doesn’t pass in the senate

📢 New @cosmik.network‬ blog post! Herbert Simon told us that information consumes attention. For 50 years, we've accepted that as a one-way street: attention as a scarce resource. This is the *linear* attention economy: we feel it as acute info overload, too many browser tabs open >

Visiting Italy reminded me how much I miss daily farmers market with fresh produce. I missed chatting with the vendor, smelling the freshness of vegetables, and having them recognize me. Why does it work there and not in the US? Can we start normalizing daily affordable farmers market in the US?

Our paper received an 🏆Honorable Mention Award🏆 at #IUI2025! Again a huge thank you to my amazing co-authors Thulasi Tholeti, Resmi Ramachandranpillai, PhD, Mahammad Ali, Toby Jia-Jun Li, and Ricardo Baeza-Yates and the IUI community!

Project Liberty Labs, our technology development arm that created Frequency, has been quietly working to execute on bringing Voice, Choice, and Stake to everyone. This partnership with @bsky.app paves the way for a future where users—not platforms—are in control.

The negative externalities of GenAI never seem to end.

A coalition of professors, diversity officers & restaurant worker advocates represented by Democracy Forward filed suit today to block Trump’s unlawful anti-DEIA actions. We'll continue using the power of the courts to challenge unlawful policies & fight to uphold decades of legal precedent. (1/3)

hmmm... looking for funding sources where I can use words to describe my research #ResponsibleAI

A good piece on technology and by Erin Kissane who quotes Ursula Martius Franklin, A Holocaust survivor, who describes that central to shaping of human-technology relationship is how justice is perceived.

Can’t recommend it enough. We need someone like him in the US
