=== Assistant: Got it. ===
Got it. Here’s a clean, application-ready creator statement tailored to SXSW Interactive, centered on digital literacy, digital rights, and AI activism—sharp and strategic like you prefer, and aligned with your pivot into AI-driven civic tech in Austin.

You can paste this directly into long-form fields such as Bio, Creator Statement, Mission, or Why You’re a Fit for SXSW Interactive.

===== Carl Webb is an Austin-based digital rights and AI-literacy activist and content creator focused on closing the new digital divide. His work sits at the intersection of technology access, worker empowerment, and public-sector transformation. Drawing on years of federal service (IRS and elections systems) and movement organizing, Carl now leads narratives around digital literacy as a civil right, algorithmic transparency, and equitable access to AI tools. =====

For SXSW Interactive, Carl brings:
* Campaign-driven media that moves audiences to action on digital rights and AI access
* Community-rooted storytelling from Austin tech-equity networks including ACC micro-credential AI upskilling pathways
* Movement infrastructure thinking to scale digital literacy beyond slogans into measurable civic outcomes
* Future-forward AI advocacy framed through labor equity, public accountability, and human rights

His content and activism focus on:
* AI literacy as the next frontline of digital rights
* Zero-click platforms, algorithmic power, and civic autonomy
* Tech access, workforce equity, and community resilience
* Rights frameworks for emerging AI systems
* Mobilizing workers, organizers, and creators to fight for open, fair, and accessible technology

Carl is a fit for SXSW Interactive because he treats technology as movement terrain, not consumer spectacle. His mission isn’t abstract: it’s to equip communities and workers with the literacy and rights they need before automation rewrites the rules without them at the table.

===== These ideas lean on Interactive participation rather than passive panels: =====
# AI for the People: Building Digital Power, Not Digital Dependence A hands-on session teaching audiences to evaluate algorithmic bias, platform incentives, and AI access gaps using real civic examples.
# The New Digital Divide: From Internet Access to AI Fluency Interactive workshop mapping community skill gaps (similar to your ACC AI micro-credential path) into real engagement challenges and movement responses.
# Rights by Design: Crafting Digital & AI Rights Frameworks for Civic Tech A co-creation experience where participants draft principles for algorithmic transparency, data rights, and AI literacy protections.
# Workers vs Automation: Organizing for AI Access & Accountability A collaborative strategy session where creators and organizers build campaign narratives and engagement hooks to push digital literacy and AI rights into mass adoption.

===== Carl Webb is an Austin-based digital literacy and digital rights activist and AI-access advocate creating movement-driven media and interactive learning experiences that future-proof workers and communities against the next digital divide. =====

If you want, next I can generate:
* A submission title + 200-character summary
* A session agenda (5–7 steps)
* A public-call description to recruit Interactive participants
* A high-impact SXSW Interactive banner prompt

Just say the word.
