In der aktuellen Episode geht es um Mythen rund um digitale Technologien: Sei es die Vorstellung von der Blockchain als Speicherort für Dokumente, die Hoffnung, KI werde sämtliche Probleme lösen, dass man im Internet immer mit seinen Daten bezahle oder dass etwas aufgrund des Datenschutzes nicht möglich sei.
Diese simplen Erzählungen prägen oft den Diskurs. Unsere ÖFIT-Wissenschaftler Nicole Opiela und Mike Weber diskutieren diese und weitere Digitalisierungsmythen.
📣 Zum vierten Mal lädt unser Kompetenzzentrum Öffentliche IT #ÖFIT gemeinsam mit dem Trägerkreis (NExTnetzwerk, @informatik und Open Knowledge Foundation Deutschland e.V.) zur Online-Konferenz #PIAZZA ein!
Am 14. November 2024 werden erneut verschiedene Perspektiven, Expertise und Ideen aus den drei Sektoren #Verwaltung, #Wissenschaft und #Zivilgesellschaft in den Dialog miteinander gebracht.
#AI#Government#PublicAdministration#PublicSector: "The public should have opportunities to offer input into what technologies are introduced in public administration, since they interface with these agencies and could be adversely impacted by the AI systems they deploy. Ultimately, it’s an issue of trust: If the public can’t trust their democratically elected governments to know their rights — and these technological intermediaries are representative of those governments — it is unlikely they will trust those same institutions to protect their rights.
With governments on pace to adopt more technology, it’s imperative that any new tools are thoroughly evaluated and tested before they are released into the world. AI has the potential to dramatically improve many government processes and could help the cities provide better services. But if technologies are poorly designed, without attention to how they are integrated into society, they could change power relations and how people relate to their governments. In this case, the more likely outcome is the further erosion of trust in public institutions — and undermining the very laws and rules the city is responsible for clarifying and protecting." https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/4624114-ai-chatbot-government-public-sector-silicon-valley-new-york-city/
Problem is that we're/they're bound by our #Nonprofit#PublicSector status to avoid discussing #capitalism as a problem or naming the political party responsible for this state of affairs @pluralistic, please advise...
The site lays out my position a little more clearly. For now, I have a reading list of the papers that really helped me shape my early thinking. Will be adding more resources as we go
📂 🗃️ Die Potentiale von KI für Staat und Verwaltung nutzen!
Der #eGov-Labtalk unseres Geschäftsbereichs Digital Public Services zum Thema "Effiziente KI-Lösungen für die Verwaltung" hat mit vier Vorträgen einen praktischen Blick auf verschiedene Anwendungsfälle mit KI geworfen. Drei der Vorträge stehen in dieser Aufzeichnung der Veranstaltung zur Verfügung: 🎬 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2xfNUjMNws 🎥 Enjoy watching!
"the use of the #Fediverse and #Mastodon by #government agencies offers a new paradigm in #publicsector communication, marked by increased security, autonomy, and inclusivity. However, it also brings challenges in terms of reach and complexity. As the digital landscape evolves, it is crucial for government agencies to stay informed and agile, adapting their communication strategies to serve the public effectively & responsibly." https://about.iftas.org/2024/03/06/open-social-for-the-common-good/
The shape of #austerity:
real terms reductions in both day-to-day spending & capital expenditure;
no system can survive without damage under such circumstances, and the #Tories (starting with Osborne) did not expect the #publicsector to;
this is an exercise in long-term wrecking, passed off as prudence.
And we can expect #JeremyHunt to carry out one last act of attrition in the budget - making the next Govt's job that much more difficult... its so clearly a scorched earth strategy!
Given the wreckage already caused by Hunt & his predecessors this must be the final nail in coffin of any idea that the #Tories have any interest in the well-being of the country.
He would be hard pushed to stoop lower than trying to bribe #Voters with money he's stealing from them in the coming years to undermine the services they need!
