This Thursday, Jan 15, at 2pm PT / 5pm ET - come & learn how to build an AI evaluation with @collect_intel Last year we launched weval.org, our democratized evals platform. This week our incredible @ourthuley will be hosting a virtual evals session to help you all build the evals that we need. If you are curious about how to build an evaluation this is for you - for civil society orgs working on AI accountability for your country, medics who want to see how models do on medical questions, journalists looking to report on how AI is impacting classrooms, or a policymakers needing research precedent for safety legislation. 📆 Thursday, Jan 15, at 2pm PT / 5pm ET.

“The people closest to the pain—activists, human-rights lawyers often know the answer. They shift from protest (against) to demonstration (for).” @audreyt breaks down how pro-social alternatives can be the key to alternative tech futures at #MozFest: sayit.archive.tw/2025-11-08-unl…

The history of Southasia is a history of social movements, and a great many people in our region today refuse to give up the fight for a better world. I am excited to be moderating a panel of some the most renowned activists of our time. Come join us: weareonehumanity.org/webinars

In collaboration with activists throughout South Asia, I'm writing a book about the most influential social change writings of the 21st century. This is a collective effort, and we'd appreciate your input: we're collecting entries for the project now - forms.gle/P9hs6y3ezw2kkz…

Calling all AI practitioners: @RamaravindKM and I are conducting a research study to understand how assumptions are made in AI and what developers, managers, and researchers can do about it. We'd love to get your thoughts - reach out to us to learn more.

4/8. ‘But it’s his hard-earned money, made through hard work’ – everyone, capitalism promises us, can be as rich as they, if you work as hard. Really? If hard work makes you a billionaire, every woman in rural India would be one. But yes, a rural household with100 days’ work on the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme could match Ambani’s 118 billion dollar wealth – in 340.6 million years. #ambaniwedding #psainath

I argue here why India's new coalition gov't doesn't necessarily guarantee a shift in thinking around tech policy - *institutionally*, the agenda has always been to consolidate power and centralize oversight.
