Government’s in the Room. Go.
by Peiyu Phua | at Minnebar20
I am a state employee leading a statewide AI planning project focused on human-centered outcomes. One person. Just me. So I need all of you — my army of beautiful, slightly feral, truth-telling humans.
Bring your hot takes. Tell me what we’re getting wrong. Tell me what you’d do if you were in charge. Bring your most unhinged proposals — we might just find gold in there. Tell me my ideas suck. I have thick skin and I genuinely need to know.
I will respond honestly, even when the honest answer is “I don’t know.” I’m not here to defend the government — I wouldn’t even know where to start.
This will be messy. That’s the point. But it’s also genuinely valuable — because I have this tiny, now-or-never window to shape how Minnesota responds to AI, and I am not about to waste it. So if you’ve ever wanted to say something to the government and have someone listen and give a damn, this is your 40 minutes.
Say something. Say anything. No ego. No filter. No guaranteed outcome. No wrong answers. No holding back.
Let’s see what happens.
Peiyu Phua
I am a statewide planner at Minnesota Management and Budget who somehow ended up leading the state’s human-centered AI planning efforts. I have no backup. I am not scared. (I am a little scared.)
I am not a technologist. I am not a lawyer. I am not a lobbyist. I am one person with a notebook, a lot of questions, and resources that are… let’s say… government-sized.
Connect with me on LinkedIn — especially if you’re already brewing something to say.
