Идея для полезной автоматизации государством.

Вот вы уже собираете данные обо всех моих покупках через системы ОФД и ко.

Давайте вы мне автоматически будете рассчитывать налоговый вычет за каждый платёж в благотворительный фонд, оплату визита к врачу, покупку лекарств и т.п.?

Как идея? Бежим реализовывать уже завтра?

Big shakeup at the SSA under Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE):
📉 87% of regional staff cut
📲 All public communication now routed exclusively through X (formerly Twitter)
🚫 Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity? Gone.
🔄 Oversight functions reassigned or absorbed

Critics warn this shift could:
・Alienate seniors and vulnerable communities
・Increase fraud risk due to lack of clear communication
・Undermine transparency and public trust

Whether you see this as innovation or erosion of public service, it’s a dramatic pivot in how vital government programs connect with citizens.

#PublicAdministration #eGovernment #DigitalGovernment #PoliticalEconomy #SiliconValley #BigTech #CloudComputing #AI #DataScience: "A new study from the Oxford Internet Institute (part of the University of Oxford) and the London School of Economics examines how governments have gradually adopted Silicon Valley’s way of working.

This shift offers valuable lessons as the new UK Labour government looks to embrace AI and data science in public services. However, the study also highlights ongoing challenges, such as outdated IT systems, reliance on conservative tech providers, and the dominance of big tech companies.

The study, titled “The Political Economy of Digital Government: How Silicon Valley Firms Drove the Adoption of Data-Science and Artificial Intelligence in Public Management,” was published in the journal Public Money and Management. It shows how governments in the US, UK, and Australia were slow to modernise public services due to their dependence on traditional large-scale computer firms, known as “systems integrators.” Public officials also hesitated to adopt Silicon Valley methods, which held back progress for decades. The study suggests that to better harness AI, the public sector must avoid repeating these past mistakes."

I am excited to be presenting an accessibility workshop for #InnovateUS. I will be focusing on taking a role-based approach for accessibility. Subject-matter experts (SME) have their role, but too often responsibilities in government are hardened and accessibility becomes someone else's responsibility. Taking a role-based approach can fix barriers earlier in the project's lifecycle.

It is really terrific to hear about the great work on #OpenSource being done by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It was terrific to learn about the work of @jakerella work & about the adoption of #OSS in #DigitalGovernment.

Great to see government agencies setting up Open Source Program Office #OSPO & beginning to change the culture around buying, building and sharing code. All this helps broader goals towards government transparency and #OpenGovernment.

Another article on #OpenSource, this time written by Richard Pope, who was one of the founding members of the UK’s #GDS. There is just so much for which governments can benefit by engaging with the open source communities that they use. Furthermore, the government contributing their work back to the public #GitHub or #GitLab repositories makes the code more secure and drives down the costs for #DigitalGovernment.

Morning from #FWD50 Day 2! Kicking off the day w “Why Societies Fail and What to do About it” and hanging w #GCData fave Julian Kirby and superstar #HCD researcher Suzie Lim Garrard.

I’m hyperfocused on data & trust in/trustworthiness of government so v looking forward to Martha Edwards on “Trust in Government Goes Both Ways”.

Let’s connect for some data nerd-ery if you’re physically here or DM me to connect another time!

Heidi, Suzie, and Julian pose for a selfie in the audience of the main stage of FWD50, lit by blue stage lights.

#USA #DigitalGovernment #eGovernment: "Currently, only two percent of government forms are digitized, 45 percent of websites have not been designed to work on mobile devices, and 60 percent of websites are not fully usable by those who use assistive technologies. When people search online for information and services from our government, they get too many results with confusing answers and it’s not clear what they should do next. This is unacceptable. We can and must do better.

Today, OMB is releasing new policy guidance to agencies on Delivering a Digital-First Public Experience (M-23-22), which will transform the way Federal government communicates with the American people digitally to ensure it is providing information that is easy to use, trustworthy, and accessible. This digital framework for government includes a variety of actions and standards to help Federal agencies design, develop, and deliver modern websites and digital services. The guidance will make it seamless for the public to obtain government information and services online, and help agencies fully implement the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (IDEA).

Today and over the coming years, this Digital Experience (DX) guidance will drive progress across government to ensure that you will:"

These interactions are quick, easy, and seamless. Americans want to interact with the Federal government in the same way but we don’t consistently make it easy…
