Quanto o Brasil gasta com Big Techs e fornecedores de tecnologia estrangeira? Mapeamento inédito da USP com a UnB revela que só com o valor gasto nos últimos meses, seria possível bancar toda a estrutura, corpo docente, e gastos totais da UnB por quatro anos e meio. Ou ainda pagar durante um ano inteiro, bolsas CAPES/CNPq para todos os pós-graduandos do país, bolsistas ou não.

📘 Em Contratos, Códigos e Controle: A influência das Big Techs no Estado Brasileiro, apontamos como algoritmos, contratos e infraestruturas digitais estão moldando o presente e o futuro das políticas públicas no Brasil. Este novo estudo mergulha nas relações entre grandes empresas de tecnologia e o Estado brasileiro, revelando como a soberania digital e o interesse público estão sendo negociados (ou colocados em risco) por trás de códigos e acordos tecnológicos.

If you wanted to responsibly integrate AI into government agencies, you wouldn't do it by plugging into the consumer chatbots currently being deployed by public sector companies. But then, you also wouldn't expect the department implementing that system to accidentally expose the site ahead of launch, and here we are. theregister.com/2025/06/10/tru

Technologists for the Public Good (TPG) is collecting stories from the #civicTech community on how federal government actions have impacted them.

"How have federal actions affected you and those around you? And, how might this have affected your opinion of working in public interest tech or career advice you give to others?

We'd love to hear from if you're a current or former federal employee, family member, caretaker, were affected by federal funding or hiring freezes, lost a grant or contract or your role because of this, or any other situation.”

Google DocsContribute Your ThoughtsWe continue to hear from the community that you want a safe space to share your opinion and offer your point of view, as well as hear the same from others. Open debate on difficult topics makes us stronger as a community and a field, and we’d like to be a platform for the community to be in conversation with itself on issues that affect us all. In this format, we pose a topic and ask anyone across the community to contribute their thoughts. We collect and publish responses featuring differing perspectives. Submit anywhere from a sentence to a few paragraphs on what you think and why. We'd also love to hear from you regardless of how you've been affected – if you're a current or former federal employee, family member, caretaker, were affected by federal funding or hiring freezes, lost a grant or contract or your role because of this, or any other situation.

Elon Musk’s DOGE is gutting the US Digital Service and its citizen-focused approach to tech development is going with it.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I was honored to speak with Kate Green and Milo from We The Builders to discuss understand how government can build technology differently and what’s wrong with how DOGE thinks of efficiency.

"Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.”"

These threats and intimidations against civil service workers are absolutely disgusting. Yesterday I shared a link with resources for supporting them.
