    If AI Gets Hired, America Can Handle It

    Switchboard operators. Typists. Secretaries. Lots of factory workers. The economy has a long history of technology slowly eliminating not just jobs but entire occupations. The U.S. also has a long history of not doing a lot to help those thrown out of work by major economic shifts. Economist Kathryn Anne Edwards, who literally wrote her dissertation on unemployment insurance (her professional assessment: "it sucks"), makes the case for a wholesale rebuild that triages joblessness, distinguishing between those who need time to job hunt and those who need to pivot to a new career.  Donate to keep Optimist Economy going: https://optimisteconomy.com Video clips are on the Optimist Economy YouTube channel⁠⁠.

    Knowledge in the Age of Disinformation and AI

    What does knowledge mean in an age of AI, deepfakes, and disinformation? When information is everywhere, the real challenge is distinguishing insight from noise. In this episode of the Development Podcast, host Toni Karasanyi explores how knowledge is evolving in a world where machines can generate convincing arguments and personalized realities shape how we consume information. Tech journalist Jamie Bartlett, author of How to Talk to AI (And How Not To), explains how individuals can use AI tools without being misled — and why critical thinking matters more than ever. Paschal Donohoe, the World Bank Group’s Managing Director and Chief Knowledge Officer, discusses how the Bank is turning more than 80 years of global development experience into practical knowledge that helps countries tackle challenges, including creating jobs and scale solutions in a fast-changing world.

    Government Transformed 2.0 Episode Four: Public-private digital partnerships

    Governments around the world are focusing on how to use technology to deliver better public services, and in this episode of Global Government Forum’s Government Transformed 2.0 looks at how governments can realise the digital to usher in a public health revolution. In this conversation, Nicholas Gruen and Sherry Glied, professor of public service at New York University, discussed the potential for genetic and DNA testing to provide more personalised public services. Gruen spoke about the potential of services like 23andMe to be used for preventative and personalised public health services. He described going to San Francisco in 2012 to see Anne Wojcicki, the firm’s former CEO, give a presentation on the service. The company is a private sector company, but Gruen said he thought about how it has the potential to work in government. “There was this perfect opportunity. What should happen with 23andme is that the government should pay for the genomic analysis, it should get a copy of the genome, which, of course, it should keep private.” Broadening the conversation, Glied spoke about concerns that were both economic and political. In America, the idea of government owning information on individuals is problematic, which is a challenge, and, indeed, using genomes “hasn't actually generated as much medical advance as people had thought”. The conversation also touched on countries that have led the principle and practice of digital government, and how pioneering governments are not just looking at how to give citizens easier access to digital public health services, but proactively making them aware of these services when they reach life milestones.

    Government Transformed 2.0 Episode Two: Maximising the benefits of public goods and government as a ‘benevolent wholesaler of life’

    The second episode of Global Government Forum’s Government Transformed 2.0 podcast discusses the changing nature of public goods in the digital age – and what governments must do to maximise their benefits. The series comprises conversations that look at the story of digital transformation in government over the last 15 years, and this second discusses the evolution of public goods in the digital age. In this episode, host Richard Johnstone, regular contributor Nicholas Gruen and guest David Halpern, discuss what now counts as public goods in the digital age – and how they can be harnessed for public policy ends. In this conversation Gruen – an Australian economist and government innovation thought leader – and Halpern – president emeritus and former chief executive of the UK's Behavioural Insights Team, and now director of The Downing Battcock Institute – discuss the public goods of the digital era. This discussion explores how digital platforms like Wikipedia and Google have become public goods of opportunity, providing free access and generating significant value, and how governments can support and leverage these digital public goods. They also discuss the potential for government to act as a benevolent wholesaler, providing information to help citizens make informed decisions and improve market functioning. Hosted on Acast.

    Working together: Partnerships for Impact

    In development, big wins come from working together — building trust, sharing expertise, and bringing the right partners to the table. In this episode of The Development Podcast, we explore why partnerships matter — from the teamwork and great duos we see in sport, to the coalitions needed to deliver results at scale. We look at potential from a partnership with Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) — a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) and an 1890 land-grant institution with a long tradition of practical, community-focused problem-solving — and how AAMU’s expertise can connect to global development priorities, including Mission 300 and AgriConnect. Join us as we hear from: Ambassador Roya Rahmani, Director, Global Engagement, World Bank Group; Dr. Daniel K. Wims, President, Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University; Ajay Banga, President, World Bank Group; and S.L. Price, sports journalist and author of The American Game: History and Hope in the Country of Lacrosse.
