Data starts with people - with decisions about what numbers to collect & from who, & then from the millions of words and conversations that are turned into numbers. Here's three stories... datavaluesdigest.substack.com/p/dont-think-y… Global Partnership Jenna Slotin Janet McLaren #DataValues

Sometimes my job is just answering emails and sitting in meetings. Other times I get to write about people who are doing cool things, things that make me feel like we're looking at a new kind of data revolution. 👀 Check out this🧵⤵️ Production by the oh-so-talented @pei_tato

MTP REPORTS: AI is being “shaped to serve” the economic interests of the “handful of companies” that can develop it, Signal President Meredith Whittaker says. “The idea that this is going to magically become a source of social good … is a fantasy used to market these programs.”
