Alcoholics Anonymous as a Model for Community Technology

Abstract:

As we analyze the role of technology in the upcoming midterm and 2020 elections, clearly there is a need for need models.

In this talk, early civic tech practitioner Daniel X. O'Neil argues that Alcoholics Anonymous is one way for technologists to engage with communities in order to create systems that create real communion rather than division.

Speaker:

Daniel X. O’Neil has been a leading writer, convener, and practitioner in the American open data, open government, and civic tech fields. He’s written widely on community-based user testing and commissioned & edited books on civic tech and community technology design modes. He’s been named to Crain’s Chicago Business’ Tech 50, served as a member of the Chicago Police Accountability Task Force, and was a White House Champion of Change for Technology and Innovation.
