AI and Government: Concerns Shaped from Classic Public Administration Writings

Drawing on the classics of public administration, we can start to specify some constraints and goals for artificial intelligence (AI) and develop a “smart” but ethical government that is efficient but also responsive to public concerns.

AI Governance and the Public Management of Transportation

I’m doing an audit of my work on the topic of AI Governance of the Automatrix for publication. It’s my collection of posts on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance and the Automatrix or maybe “Robomatrix?” It is about the public management of the future transportation infrastructure as it becomes increasingly “smart” and electric. Pennings, A.J. (2025, […]

Connecting a Dangerous World: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and National Concerns

BGP connects the world by enabling communication and cooperation among autonomous systems, ensuring that data packets can traverse the vast and interconnected network of networks that make up the Internet. It bridges separate, but networked ASes such as campuses, companies, and countries. BGP works to ensure that data packets originating from one location can cross over between ISPs and other WANS (Wide Area Networks) to reach their destination anywhere else on the planet.

The Lasting Impact of ALOHAnet and Norman Abramson

Legal Precedents and Perturbations Shaping US Broadband Policy

One of the major lessons I learned from Ithiel de Sola Pool’s Technologies of Freedome book was the importance of legal precedent in communication policy, and particularly telecommunications policy. Pool also acknowledged that while legal precedent provides stability and continuity in policy, it also risks becoming an impediment to progress when technology changes beyond the scope of existing laws.

ICT4D and the Global Network Transformation

I focus on the transition in network architecture and organizational models and how that led to the global Internet we have today, and specifically why it could globalize and why it became so cheap.

Analyzing the Market Structure of a Product

These are class notes for my Engineering Economics class for their final assignments. Use the citation below. What is a monopoly? What is an oligopoly? Or even more confusing – what is an oligopsony? These are terms used to describe the state of competition among firms buying or selling similar or related products. Firms seek […]
