Introducing the EA Public Interest Technologists Slack community
Hi all! I’m excited to announce a new Slack community space for folks interested in effective altruism and public interest technology!
Public interest technology is a field that combines expertise in technology, especially computing, with the common good. Public interest tech can be divided into two approaches:
The application of computing and related technologies to serve the common good.
Applying knowledge of computing and related technologies to public policy.
Public interest tech includes a variety of roles that involve applying knowledge of computing and related technologies to the common good, such as software developers, data scientists, product designers, product managers, policymakers, researchers, and journalists.
Please feel free to join via this link, and please reach out to me if you would like to help grow this community!
