At our last meeting we devoted time to updating the Inclusive Purpose Consent Query document for approval and submental to the Leadership Council. We also started a final review of the *SDA* (Subject Delegation of Authority) document with input from Debbie Bucci, a valued friend from the NSTIC/IDESG family of friends years ago. (Thanks Tom for inviting Debbie.) I know several changes were made team members and Debbie on Oct.10, but I didn't see an updated version from our *Oct 21st meeting*, Hence, here is the link shared two weeks ago, (*Version 8 of the IK-RIUP-WG draft, dated on 2025-10-07), and a link: *https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ih38iKetyOzDZr1u6o6RL6NI18wK64Ne/edit?usp=sharing&ouid= 109794657323597753486&rtpof=true&sd=true <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ih38iKetyOzDZr1u6o6RL6NI18wK64Ne/edit?u…>.

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!
