Proposed Group: Civic Technology Community Group

The Civic Technology Community Group has been proposed by Adam Sobieski:

Artificial intelligence is already having a big impact across domains, including government services. Users will soon be able to ask natural-language questions and engage in multimodal dialogues about large-scale public-sector financial, accounting, and budgetary data while receiving responses which include language, mathematics, charts, diagrams, figures, and graphs.

This Community Group will bring together those interested in civic technology, open government, and artificial intelligence to share and discuss how to ensure that the Web is well-suited for these applications.

Initial topics of interest may include chatbot interoperability, responsive design (e.g., to handle dynamic responses from chatbots), notification models (e.g., when there are updates to backing data), the sharing of chatbot responses on the Web, and the role of linked data in connecting artificial intelligence to the Web.

You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.

Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
