Board meeting - Three main topics to be covered in the board meeting include 1) Highlights from 2018, 2) Impact goal update, and 3) Strategic resource planning, including the 2019 budget for approval. Reviewed the status of materials including slides and impact goal documents (an updated issue brief, literature review and a snapshot of current and planned 2019 activities). All materials will be finalized and sent to the board by Sunday evening. The impact goal documents will be shared with staff this week. Two decision points related to our proposed focus on the impact goal:
- Steering narrative towards the idea that we as humans design and shape how automated decision making works. This involves building understanding and agency, without necessarily focusing on whether and when AI is good or bad.
- Scoping the majority of our work on the use of AI in large-scale consumer tech, rather than in the business to business (B2B) and government spaces.

OKRs - Final detailed review of the org-wide KRs, which are in this spreadsheet. Directors will work with teams to ensure alignment with team OKRs and we’ll lock everything in after the board meeting. Will review in greater detail in an email to staff and on the February MoFo call.
