да нихуя же, она практически главная там
отвечает за основное направление, расовые вопросы, equity, AI ethics, вот это все

The renowned social scientist was just named as President Biden's first deputy director for science and society, a position that will focus on the sociological effects of emerging technologies and scientific projects.

Nelson did not respond to requests for comment and the Office of Science and Technology Policy declined to comment, but Nelson's inclusion was met with widespread support from the community of AI ethicists, tech critics and civil rights advocates who say it's past time for the government to address the civil rights and social justice issues that technological innovations are raising.

"When we provide inputs to the algorithm, when we program the device, when we design, test and research, we are making human choices — choices that bring our social world to bear in a new and powerful way," Nelson said during her acceptance speech this month. "That's why in my career, I've always sought to understand the perspective of people and communities who are not usually in the room when the inputs are made, but who live with the outputs."

Under former President Obama, the White House OSTP was filled with techno-optimists and scientists who hoped to infuse all levels of government with technological innovation and expertise. But Nelson will likely serve as a more critical voice in the room to discuss how emerging technologies interact with race, class and gender. As a researcher, she focused on how African Americans "have been the most damaged by science and technology," but have also "been the most innovative with it, despite these countervailing forces," as she put it in an interview last year. Her book "The Social Life of DNA" delves into the fraught relationship between genetic testing and Black communities.

"Her appointment certainly appears to be an indication that some of the topics of her research — which get into race and class and equity, and the shape of our society — will become more the focus of OSTP's work," said Jen Pahlka, who previously served as Obama's deputy chief technology officer.

Ultimately, Nelson will only be one voice among many shaping the trajectory of science and technology policy. But her appointment is an early signal that tech policy will look fundamentally different under President Biden.

Any evidence? I didn't think so. Ну и по твоей же ссылке:

>Ultimately, Nelson will only be one voice among many shaping the trajectory of science and technology policy.

Причем это никакое не министерство науки или подобное, это какой-то хренов консультативный кабинет по помощи в выработке policy; вот только сейчас Байден вроде как поднял его начальника до cabinet-level position (хотя четкого смысла у этого нет). Начальник (номинированный) вот, он абсолютно нормальный, с Ph.D. по математике. А эта ебанашка это младший помощник старшего дворника по связям с общественностью: ответственная за "science and society". Одна из многих заместителей младшего дворника причем.

И тебе все это озвучивали еще в прошлую итерацию. А ты продолжаешь нести всю ту же пургу.

первый заместитель директора вообще-то
причем при человеке, который ученый, а не политик,
то есть либо ничего делать не будет, либо его сожрут

Алондра - зам-директора, который
отвечает за повестку: инклюзивность, разоблачение
Трампа, сексуальный харассмент, этический AI, то
есть по факту главнее директора, в основную на сей
момент комиссию OSTP ("task force to ensure scientific
decisions are free from political influence", комиссия,
отвечающая за ревизию научных решений по климатическим
наукам, ковиду и все прочее такое же при трампе)
его даже не назначили

There has been a seismic shift at the federal level in AI
policy and in stated commitments to equality in tech. A
number of high profile appointments by the Biden
administration — from Dr. Alondra Nelson as deputy of
OSTP, to Tim Wu at the NEC, to (our former senior advisor)
Kurt Campbell at the NSC — signal that significant
attention will be paid to inclusive AI development by
experts on the inside.

As early-career scientists and engineers working at the intersection of science and society, we represent the next generation of leaders in science policy. Over the past four years, we have helped reshape how the scientific community engages in the political process: we marched for science and developed new organizations like the National Science Policy Network. As the 100th day of President Biden’s presidency nears, we recognize that our work has only begun. Even under administrations with greater appreciation for scientific integrity and evidence-based policymaking, the scientific community must continue working to ensure that our evolving scientific enterprise is committed to racial, economic and social equity.

Science: The Endless Frontier, a report delivered by Vannevar Bush in 1945, has defined science policy in the United States. The report jump-started a massive expansion of the government’s role in research and guided generations of scientific leaders. After 75 years of science policy under these principles, we must recognize that The Endless Frontier was developed largely by white men and shaped by a wartime innovation model primarily focused on health, economic development and national security. Despite decades of dramatic social changes, science policy has failed to keep pace. Much of science policy remains limited to advocating for scientific research funding while neglecting broader considerations about people and communities that have been historically and repeatedly marginalized.

We recognize the political dimensions of science policy and aim to redefine our field to prioritize justice and social equity. In working towards that goal, it is critical that we amplify historically underrepresented voices, including communities of different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities and disabilities. Furthermore, the science policy community must create opportunities centering marginalized communities that have not always benefited from science, or have actively been harmed by it.

There is already a proven track record for incorporating societal welfare in science and science policy. For example, the Science for Social Equity program connects early-career researchers to grassroots organizations to address problems identified by a community. This model centers communities and challenges scientists to listen and learn from them, recognizing that science does not hold all of the answers. The recently proposed National Science Foundation for the Future Act would require the NSF director to consider “social and economic inequality” when selecting the agency’s focus areas, and it represents a step in the right direction. Additionally, we applaud the appointment of Alondra Nelson as deputy director for science and society for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Nelson’s focus on science and technology with the important context of social inequality is a model for the next era of science policy.

We can make science policy more equitable by holding our institutions, including professional societies and universities, accountable. We demand our organizations adopt clear, public values that advocate for evidence-based policy as well as social justice. Lasting progress cannot be achieved when we remain silent in the face of policy makers denouncing or impeding evidence-based research, or by accepting performative gestures when concrete changes are needed.

We call on our organizations to incorporate justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) considerations in all aspects of their work, including event planning. This includes ensuring there are no panels consisting only of men, providing childcare, welcoming people who are undocumented or not U.S. citizens in their programming, and adopting a commitment that hate speech will not be tolerated. Scientific societies should require that conference locations are safe and accessible for marginalized groups, including the LGBTQ+ community. JEDI work is largely being performed by scientists of color, who need to be compensated for their monumental contributions. Finally, we advocate for “Hill Day'' agendas that go beyond research funding and toward urgent issues including application of research for societal benefit and equity, sexual harassment and immigration policy.

Ultimately, there are myriad ways in which both individual scientists and organizations can take sustained actions that prioritize justice in science policy and hold others accountable to this goal. For too long in science policy, we have put funding first. Now it is time to put people first.

Вот страница википедии про эту контору: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Science_and_Technology_Policy Ни ебанашки, ни даже ее должности там вообще нет.

>First Deputy Director for Science

А сам текст прочитать слабо? Там "first" в том смысле, что раньше именно такого замдиректора не было, это первый раз.

Says Board Chair Dr. Teresa Caldeira, “It is our deep honor and great pleasure to congratulate Dr. Alondra Nelson on this prestigious, first-of-its-kind appointment to the White House Office on Science and Technology Policy.

И т.д. и т.п.

Во влажных фантазиях пользователя арбат может быть, а на самом деле, ну, как-то нет.
