impact of AI on inclusion and transparancy
by Tom Jones 12 Oct '25

12 Oct '25

I am on a Slack channel where I had the following interchange, which (IMHO) requires a rethink about what inclusion and transparency might be like in the coming year. The rise of AI-native apps—especially those powered by agentic models—does challenge the browser’s dominance as the primary interface for digital life. So - who is wrapping who here?But we have been here before - remember when Farmville was 12% of facebook's revenue? But what happened?The shift to mobile apps left FarmVille behind. It was built for desktop browsers and struggled to adapt to the new UX expectations. Competitors like Candy Crush and Clash of Clans dominated mobile attention.Burnout was another problem - too much of a good thing? When it isn't even a good thing? And it gets replaced by Candy Crush? Who thought that was an improvement?Is anybody out there using ChatGPT as their primary phone UI yet? 2 replies ------------------------------ *xxxxx* Today at 5:01 PM <https://kwaaiailab.slack.com/archives/C09EMJAJY7M/p1760140896861599?thread_…> I think lots of us have linked ChatGPT and Claude on our phone lock screens. Does that answer your question? (edited) tomj Just now <https://kwaaiailab.slack.com/archives/C09EMJAJY7M/p1760145229132309?thread_…> whoa - i didn't even think about that - so you accept that chat gpt is your primary notification channel? I guess you already think that is loyal to you? So the choice has already been made by some of you Peace ..tom jones

It was a pleasure meeting you and learning more about the projects you're working on. If you're interested in engaging with the Digital Benefits Network in the future or learning more about the status of Digital Identity in public benefits applications I encourage you to check out our work on our Digital Government Hub<https://digitalgovernmenthub.org/topics/digital-identity/>! A resource that might be particularly useful is our 2024 data set <https://digitalgovernmenthub.org/publications/2024-edition-account-creation…> documenting account creation and identity proofing requirements across online SNAP, WIC, TANF, Medicaid, child care (CCAP) applications, and unemployment insurance applications. I'll reach out to Noreen and Salvatore separately to set up some follow up convos. Wishing you all a great rest of your day!

Digital Doorways to Public Benefits: Beneficiary Experiences with Digital Identity! Hello there! The Digital Benefits Network<https://beeckcenter.georgetown.edu/projects/digital-benefits-network/> (DBN) at the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation<https://beeckcenter.georgetown.edu/> at Georgetown University is excited to announce the release of our new report, Digital Doorways to Public Benefits: Beneficiary Experiences with Digital Identity<https://digitalgovernmenthub.org/publications/digital-doorways-to-public-be…>! [image.png] Read the Full Report<http://beeckcenter.org/DigitalDoorwaysReport> | Read the Executive Summary<http://beeckcenter.org/DigitalDoorwaysExecSummary> We believe that in order to build digital identity processes that are truly secure and inclusive, we must first understand who is struggling, how, and why. Conducted in partnership with Public Policy Lab<https://www.publicpolicylab.org/>, this research provides state benefits agencies, community-based organizations, policymakers, researchers, and funders with an opportunity to hear directly from beneficiaries about their experiences with account creation, logging in, document uploads, biometric verification, and more. We are particularly excited to share this full report with our Digital Identity of Community of Practice! In the report, we unpack key insights related to privacy and security challenges, access and authentication issues, user experience and support, and technology access and literacy barriers and make recommendations for building trust, improving account creation and authentication, and evaluating the use of identity proofing. Whether you’re a policymaker, benefits administrator, technologist, or advocate, this report will empower you to protect users' data and keep state systems secure without creating barriers that disempower people seeking help. As you read the report, what do the insights spark for your work? What new or emerging questions do you have? Join the Public Webinar If you haven’t yet registered, we encourage you to sign up today to join our public webinar on September 15 from 3-4pm ET! During this webinar we'll cover the why behind our research, how our research was conducted, what we learned, and what we recommend as next steps. We’ll make time for audience discussion and explore what further research is needed. To attend, RSVP via Zoom<http://beeckcenter.org/DigitalDoorwaysWebinar>. If you have any questions about the Digital Doorways research, please email digid(a)georgetown.edu<mailto:digid@georgetown.edu>.
