Audrey Tang (@au / @audreyt.org ) will be giving a talk on Friday 22 May organised with our local #FOSS / #FLOSS group, from 15:30 to 16:30 UK time, in #Oxford and online. You're welcome to join (should also be recorded)!

The topic is "Good Enough Ancestor: Software Freedom as Civic Care across Generations". It will connect the software freedom movement to Audrey's and Caroline Green's framework for local, community-governed, more caring AI systems rather than reliance on centralised systems. Tang and Green work in the local University of Oxford Institute for AI Ethics. Tang is also first Digital Minister of Taiwan, and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate. Before ministership and research, Tang was a prolific FLOSS programmer, and since has for example helped persuade Pol.is to adopt the AGPL license.

“What should we do together?”

“US is running on a 250-year old operating system. There’s a strong desire to move beyond this and properly rethink from first principles — What would democracy in the 21st century look like?”

Very inspiring, but poor #education & #criticalThinking is #US #AchillesHeel. Lack of serious, honest media makes US more susceptible to malign foreign influence. #Oligarchs like #Thiel once offered $ to students to quit school
