Re: Hello and Welcome to the Civic Technology Community Group

Civic Technology Community Group,



Hello. New members, please also see the previous welcome email, below.

I am very excited about artificial intelligence, open government, and civic technology and I look forward to our future discussions and collaborations on these topics as we contribute to advancing the state of the art.

As recent developments in AI may be somewhat novel to some members, e.g., GPT-4 and Bard, we can be as both teachers and students to one another by sharing Web resources. Please do feel free to share any relevant Web resources – be they introductory, intermediate, or advanced – that you might find with the group (public-civics@w3.org).



Best regards,

Adam Sobieski

P.S.: I found the following Web resource, a one-minute video, to be interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-waFp6rLc0 .
