AI policy is dominating #UNGA81 dialogue.🌐

Who’s holding the steering wheel? Are we going in the right direction? Are we going too fast? Are we going off a cliff? 🤔

We must let the people set the pace of frontier AI!💯

A split-panel graphic featuring a left-aligned, faded-red column of people crossing a street set against the tiers of an empty black-and-white amphitheatre with a right-positioned pink circle accent promotes the Noema Magazine-published essay Let The People Set The Pace Of Frontier AI. The piece is co-authored by Helene Landemore, Damon Wells ‘58 professor of political science at Yale University and distinguished researcher at Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI, and Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s cyber ambassador, first digital minister, architect of the Taiwan Model for digital diplomacy, 2025 Right Livelihood laureate and 2026–27 Carnegie distinguished fellow. https://civic.ai/

Audrey Tang: Treat AI like soil, not oil, to preserve humanity

The Taiwanese civic technologist argues that the way to address fears about the threat of artificial intelligence is to nurture systems that are accountable to those it affects, writes Matthew Bishop

"Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s first digital minister, named a shared anxiety, a future she calls the dark commons: answers that no longer show their sources, and sources that never see their readers."

Thank you. Hello from Sweden. Let me start with something I did last Friday. I moved my own Bluesky account to a Swedish provider, hosted in Finland. Every single follower came with me. Nothing broke. *It just works\!* Because on an open protocol, we take our community with us; it doesn't belong to the host. That, to me, is the heart of it. In a democracy, no single company should own the public square. When one company owns the room where we talk, the conversation gets *prematurely optimised* for engagement and capture, not for the public good. And a captive audience cannot hold power to account. The open social web changes the incentive: it gives people a credible exit. If we can leave and take our followers with us, the platform has to *earn* our trust instead of locking us in. Exit is what keeps voice honest. As we heard in the conversation earlier, there is a cost: The hard work of interoperability. But that is the *civic muscle* we must build together. It is a governance challenge worth having, because the prize is a democracy that isn't one big room shouting, but many small rooms that can still hear each other. Let me conclude with one image. Our data is _soil_, never oil. Treat it like oil, and it is all extraction and concentration. Treat it like soil, and our community travels with us, and grows where we plant it. That is how we make the digital public square actually public. And that is how we free the future — together. Thank you.

"Our data is soil" - @audreyt.org at @publicspaces.net Love that. Definitely using that analogy from now on.
