Jonathan Desrosiers

A long-time WordPress contributor and project leader, as well as a prolific writer and speaker, Jonathan is always thinking about what makes decision-making different—and delicate—in open source. 

His latest talk, Keeping Humans in the Loop: Tactful AI in a Collaborative Community, Jonathan extends that nuance to AI as it takes its place in WordPress. 

How can the principles that have always guided the WordPress project help us integrate AI, ethically and practically, into our work and communities? How can we make the best decisions for the project and all the people who surround it—users, developers, extenders, and the web itself? 

If you’re thinking critically  about how we move forward together in the age of automation, you won’t want to miss even a second of what Jonathan has to say!
