Cal Poly&#8217;s <a href="https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/" data-type="link" data-id="https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/">Digital Democracy</a>, an artificial intelligence platform designed to help journalists analyze government proceedings, has received an Emmy Award for its role in uncovering hidden legislative practices in California.



Developed by the university&#8217;s students and staff under Professor Foaad Khosmood, Digital Democracy uses AI to automatically transcribe and analyze legislative hearings, helping reporters identify how lawmakers can block bills without public votes.



Through <a href="https://iatpp.calpoly.edu/" data-type="link" data-id="https://iatpp.calpoly.edu/">Cal Poly&#8217;s Institute for Advanced Technology and Public Policy</a>, the project launched in 2014 with the purpose to increase government transparency and support local journalism. It now partners with the nonprofit newsroom <a href="https://calmatters.org/" data-type="link" data-id="https://calmatters.org/">CalMatters</a> to provide tools for data-driven political reporting.



“This recognition shows that technology can truly serve the public good,” Khosmood said. “It highlights how collaboration and innovation can strengthen democracy.”

<a href="https://new.dineoncampus.com/calpoly/campus-map/poly-choice" data-type="link" data-id="https://new.dineoncampus.com/calpoly/campus-map/poly-choice">Poly Choice</a>, Cal Poly Dining&#8217;s newest venue at 1901 Marketplace, is bringing a new energy to the campus lunch scene. Replacing Poly Deli this year, the restaurant was brought to life by student feedback and features a rotating menu every six weeks to keep choices new and exciting.



The current menu consists of build-your-own poke bowls, priced at $13.95, along with grad-and-go items, around or under $7. Students can order ahead through Grubhub, and early results show that Poly Choice is quickly becoming a fan favorite. 



The food shop is open Monday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Friday until 1:45 p.m.
