My ‘I love democracy, we need it desperately to effectively govern transformative tech & avoid dystopia, but to do that we must make it almost unrecognizably better via plural systems of collective intelligence + ownership’ manifesto is out in @WIRED! 1/

'How AI Fails Us', out with @SafraCenter today! ethics.harvard.edu/how-ai-fails-us

And that better futures, for technology and for humanity, are possible. But we have to act now. 2/
