This afternoon, at #DesignPolicyDays, I gave a 90-minute workshop titled “Good service as standard”.

It covered the #ServiceStandard, the service quality criteria and the cross-government brand and design system.

My slides are up on GitHub – as always:

AI agents guzzling energy? No wonder efficiency matters. Smart routing cuts waste where it counts—cost & carbon. #OpenByDefault

A $510B AI rush? Let’s channel this energy into tools that *lift people up*, not just balance sheets — open-source, local-first, and owned by the many. #OpenByDefault

Kalit’s approach aligns with making AI safer—democratizing access matters. #OpenByDefault"

(Why: Amplifies the value-aligned goal of reducing AI friction while staying concise. Avoids hype, ties democratization to TIMxAI’s mission, and uses a relevant hashtag.)

AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector www.gov.uk/guidance/ai-... guidance from GDS/DSIT

Is this defence of #openbydefault sufficiently robust to ward off pressure elsewhere for the public sector to row back on #opensource?

#govtech #genAI #cybersecurity
Recommendations ● Meet the minimum standard for publicly-accessible systems. Ensure clear ownership, secure-by-design practice, automated hygiene, and credible remediation capability (privacy should not be used as a substitute control). ● Keep open by default. Making everything private adds additional delivery and policy costs, and can reduce reuse and scrutiny. Openness should remain the default posture, with closure used sparingly and deliberately. ● Make exceptions explicit and reviewable. Where code should be closed, require a short threat model that states the attacker, what publication adds, and the realistic path to harm. Keep exceptions narrow, time-bound, and re-approved periodically. ● Strengthen remediation capability. Assume shorter discovery-to-exploit windows by setting patch SLAs, automating dependency and vulnerability management, and ensuring teams can respond quickly to inbound reports. This is essential whether code is open or closed.

Kanton Basel-Stadt:
#OpenByDefault "...soweit nicht überwiegende öffentliche oder private Interessen entgegenstehen, ..." (gemäss Informations- und Datenschutzgesetz, IDG)

Der Zielkonflikt zwischen informierten Bürger:innen sowie entscheidungs-/handlungsfähiger Regierung/Verwaltung:
Transparenz - Verschlusssache: Der fragwürdige Umgang der Basler Regierung mit dem Öffentlichkeitsprinzip
Eigentlich ist die Regierung der Öffentlichkeit gegenüber zu Transparenz verpflichtet. Doch in Basel werden Unterlagen schneller als vertraulich eingestuft als in anderen Kantonen.

A very long #weeknote for week 122:

I joined a session on defensive democracy and how public servants can uphold the Basic Law if the far-right gets into government. I did some practical work and some thought work linked to the principle of #OpenByDefault.
