My talk at the O'Reilly Solid Conference on May 22, 2014. I mostly talk about UI implications of the Internet of Things, but also about the need for interoperability.
Technology and Trust: The Challenge of 21st Century GovernmentTim O'Reilly
My talk at the 2013 Social Innovation Summit. Democracies get their strength from the people’s trust. When the interactions that people have with government are so divorced from how they live their lives, or are hard and unpleasant, what does that do to the trust that underlies our democracies? At Code for America, we try to restore trust in government by building interfaces to essential government services that are simple, beautiful, and easy to use.
We take four approaches: 1) we work directly with government officials (at the local level) to create the capacity inside government to build innovative solutions to hard problems; 2) we build communities of technologists and citizens who want to lend their skills to help build their governments; 3) we build tools that make citizen interactions with government easier, simpler, and more elegant, so that the experience of government is positive and breeds trust. 4) We incubate and accelerate civic startups to create new
economic models for those tools.
Don’t stop believing that government can work, and can be a force for good
My keynote at the Twilio developer conference on September 19, 2013 in San Francisco. Reflections on the internet as a platform, why applications like Square, Uber, and the Google autonomous vehicle tell us what that platform makes possible, and why it's imperative for entrepreneurs to create more value than they capture. I also talk about Code for America, government as platform, and Twilio for Good.
Government as a Platform: What We've Learned Since 2008 (ppt)Tim O'Reilly
My talk at the UK Government Digital Service Sprint 15 event in London, February 2, 2015. I talk about my idea of government as a platform, and what I've learned since I first articulated the idea, with specific reference to what the GDS has taught me about the idea.
Oakland Public Ethics Commission: Transparency, Open Data, and Gov as PlatformTim O'Reilly
I spoke at the Oakland Public Ethics commission on June 25, 2013. I was trying to set some context about how the ideas of transparency, open data, and government platform should shape their thinking. This is a PDF with notes on my talking points below each slide.
An Operating System for the Real WorldTim O'Reilly
My keynote at the Concur #PerfectTrip Devcon on October 2, 2013. I talk about the "internet operating system," and how sensors are turning it into a real world operating system, with "context aware programming." I use this metaphor to give lessons from some projects and startups putting these principles to work, including Tripit, the Google Autonomous Vehicle, Square, Uber, and Google Now.
My keynote at Velocity New York (#VelocityConf) on September 17, 2014. The failure of healthcare.gov was a textbook DevOps (or rather, lack of DevOps) case study. But it’s part of a wider pattern that reminds us that people should be at the heart of everything we build. In fact, getting the “people” part right is the key both to DevOps and great user experience design. It runs from the Internet of Things right through building government services that really work for citizens.

Government For The People, By The People, In the 21st CenturyTim O'Reilly
My joint keynote with Jennifer Pahlka of Code for America at the Accela Engage conference in San Diego on August 5, 2014. We talk about current advances in technology, and how they call for anyone developing services to put their users at the center. In particular, we talk about how these lessons apply to government. Making government work by the people and for the people in a 21st century way is central to restoring faith in government.
World Government Summit on Open SourceTim O'Reilly
PDF of slides and notes from my keynote at Acquia's World Government Summit on Open Source in Washington DC October 11, 2012. I talk about how open source enabled the internet as a platform, and how it can enable government as a platform. I talk about examples from the internet and from Code for America's work with cities. I crib shamelessly from some of Jen Pahlka's talks about Code for America, and some of the lessons that can be taken from her work.
Reinventing Healthcare to Serve People, Not InstitutionsTim O'Reilly
My talk at South by Southwest on March 16, 2015. I use examples from consumer technology (the Apple Store, Uber/Lyft, and Google Now) to show where "the bar" is now for user experience, and what that should teach us about how to redesign healthcare. I also talk about the work of Code for America to debug the UX for CalFresh and MediCal.
The AIs Are Not Taking Our Jobs...They Are Changing ThemTim O'Reilly
My talk at the Web Summit in Dublin on November 6, 2014. Reflections on the notion that AI will take away jobs, and our need to recognize and redefine the human role in the applications we build. Covers many of the same ideas as my "Internet of Things and Humans" talk, but from a slightly different angle.

Agile experiences inside a Global Company - Daniel Wildt\'s perspectiveDaniel Wildt
The main problem while adopting Agile Methodologies is related to the Cultural Change. Imagine this happening in teams that work together with other teams, with different management strategies and different software development lifecycles. Different projects will be presented. With all these different scenarios, we will focus to understand challenges, actions taken and their results, success situations and failure situations transformed into lessons learned in this Agile adoption path. It’s a presentation to share a research work being developed for almost two years now, with some teams, and share lessons learned about applying Agile Methodologies inside a Global Company.

Continuing development throughout our careers is essential if we are to reach our full potential, enhancing both our professional competence and our personal fulfillment. Based on a Community of Practice perspective, this presentation demonstrates how various Internet facilities can facilitate induction and participation in peer networks to support our professional development.
In order to provide a practical guide for colleagues to make use of, this presentation surveys a range of resources available on the Internet, including discussion boards and online teaching resources, before focusing on the role of the newsgroup as a community of practice. With particular reference to the TESL-L list, it is demonstrated that engagement with such a community can provide a channel for development, leading from peripheral to full participation.
We also survey the online resources established by the ELT community in Greece, and offer practical suggestions for ways to benefit from these, ranging from participation in a discussion group to accessing research published on the web and publishing our own articles in online journals.
The conclusion is that by sharing our own practice with fellow-practitioners we can provide ideas and resources for colleagues to use, while gaining valuable feedback which stimulates new cycles of action research. This ongoing process of development helps each of us to approach the question: How can I become the best teacher that I can be?
Hanson Hosein: Storyteller Uprising Fall 2013Hanson Hosein
With the decline of traditional journalism, there’s an increased need for trusted information and content. This presents a huge opportunity to individuals, communities, companies and organizations. They can fill that void by telling their own multimedia stories and creating their own channels of distribution — thereby serving as trusted sources in their own right. That’s the “uprising” — people seizing control of communication by building ongoing credible connection through story and digital technology. Storyteller Uprising explains why this is now possible, and why you should harness the power of content in your own communication endeavors.
Presented by Hanson Hosein, Director, Communication Leadership graduate program at the University of Washington, Host Four Peaks TV, President, HRH Media Group (www.hrhmedia.com)
“A must-read for anyone trying to understand the changing world around us, especially anyone who’s got an idea, product or service to sell–which is anyone in any kind of business.” — Sree Sreenivasan, CNET (and Chief Digital Officer of Columbia University) “How to profit from the social media Storyteller Uprising“
“For anyone interested in media and how it’s being transformed by social media and the digital age, this is a must read. It will also give you unique perspective and things to think about, only possible from someone like Hanson Hosein who has such a fascinating background in traditional media, new media and also academia. It’s an easy read with important points on storytelling, how it’s changed due to technology but also how it’s stayed the same.” — Craig Kanalley, Senior Editor Huffington Post, “Great Read — Amazon.com review“

Technological Revolutions and Cultural Revolutions: OSCON 2014Tim O'Reilly
Open source, DevOps, cloud computing, and the internet of things don't just require new technology, they require new thinking about how society and business is to be organized. It's critical, therefore, to infuse the work that developers do with human values, and to build a world that we are proud of.
Inventing the future of publishing through human curated big dataScoop.it
This is a talk that our Co-Founder & CEO Guillaume Decugis gave at DataWeek on October 2nd, 2013 as we launched the v4 of Scoop.it.
Semantic technology has been around for years and was supposed to save us from information overload. So far, it failed. The Semantic Web or Web 3.0 is still Tim Berners-Lee's dream, and good old Web 2.0 keeps drowning us in oceans of content. But while social media is certainly the cause of this deluge of information, it can also be the solution: first, as it provides us with a huge amount of data that we can use to qualify this information through big data technology; second, because it educated and created a need for millions to become human curators. By combining algorithms and humans, we reinvent media while bringing the meaning back to the Web.
This is the pdf (with notes) of my slide deck from the Smart Disclosure Summit in Washington D.C. on March 30, 2012. Video will eventually be available.
This technology is no longer a matter of science fiction. Instead, we see artificial intelligence in every part of our lives.

What's Wrong with the Silicon Valley Growth Model (Extended UCL Lecture)Tim O'Reilly
A three part lecture for the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London. I talk about how the Silicon Valley growth model is leading from value creation to rent extraction, then about how public policy shapes our markets and what public policy students can learn from technology platforms (both what they do right and how they go wrong), and finally, I touch on some of the great mission-driven goals that could replace "increasing corporate profits" as the guiding objective of our economy.
Learning in the Age of Knowledge on DemandTim O'Reilly
The London Black Cab driver's exam, "The Knowledge of the Streets and Monuments of London," is one of the most difficult exams in the world, requiring drivers to become a human GPS. With today's tools, the smartphone and the right app turns anyone into the equivalent of a human GPS. I've been asking myself how this concept applies to the field of online learning, particularly in my own field of programming and related IT skills. How should we rethink learning in the age of knowledge on demand? My keynote at the EdCrunch conference in Moscow on October 1, 2019. As always, download the PPT to read the detailed script in the speaker notes below each slide.
What's Wrong With Silicon Valley's Growth ModelTim O'Reilly
A talk I gave on the oreilly.com live training platform on January 22, 2020, focusing on the way that many Silicon Valley startups are designed to be financial instruments rather than real companies. They are gaming the financial system, much like the CDOs that fueled the 2009 financial crash. I talk about the rise of profitless IPOs, and contrast that with the huge profits of the last wave of Silicon Valley giants. In many ways, it is an extended meditation on Benjamin Graham's famous statement, "In the short term, the market is a voting machine, but in the long term it is a weighing machine."
Google handles over 3 billion searches a day, Amazon offers a storefront with 600 million unique items, Facebook users post 6 billion pieces of content sailing, all with the aid of complex algorithmic systems that respond to a constant influx of new data, adversarial activity by those trying to game the system, and changing preferences of users. These systems represent breakthroughs in the governance of complex, interacting systems, with algorithms that must be constantly updated to respond to rapidly changing conditions. The economy as a whole is also full of complex, interacting systems, but we still try to manage those systems with 20th century tools and processes. This talk explores what we can learn from technology platforms about new approaches that the Fed might take to improve its historical mission using the tools of agile development, big data, and artificial intelligence.

My plenary talk to the California Workforce Association Conference in Monterey, CA, on September 5, 2018. I talked about the role of technology to augment people rather than replace them from my book WTF? What's the Future and Why It's Up to Us, and my ideas about AI and distributional economics, in the context of today's education and workforce development systems. I also summarize some of the work Code for America has been doing on the current state of the California Workforce Development ecosystem.
My keynote at OSCON 2018 in Portland. What I love about open source software, and what that teaches us about how we can have a better future by the better design of online marketplaces and the algorithms that manage them - and our entire economy. The narrative is in the speaker notes.
My keynote at the 2018 New Profit Gathering of Leaders conference in Boston on May 17, 2018. I talk about the lessons from technology platforms, how they teach us what is wrong with our economy, and the possibilities of AI for creating better, fairer, more effective decisions about "who gets what and why" in the economy.
Slides from my talk at the Price Waterhouse Coopers Deals Exchange conference on April 26, 2018. I talk about algorithmically manage, internet-scale networks and how they are changing the very nature of the economy, the shape of companies, and the competencies that are required for 21st century success. There are many similar themes to other talks, but this is tailored to a business audience, and very specifically to one concerned with how to do M&A in an age of dominant platforms.
My keynote at the Open Exchange Summit in Nashville on April 18, 2018. I talk about the implications for many different kinds of companies of the fact that increasingly large segments of our economy are being dominated by algorithmically managed network marketplaces.
Yet another version of my book talk, this time at Harvard Business School, on March 28, 2018. This one had fewer slides with less connecting narrative so that I could spend more time interacting with the audience. I think it went pretty well. As usual, the speaker notes contain the narrative that goes with the slides, which are mostly images.
Do More. Do things that were previously impossible!Tim O'Reilly
My keynote at SxSW Interactive on March 9, 2018. I tackle the job of the entrepreneur to redraw the map, and not to accept the idea that technology will put people out of work rather than creating new kinds of prosperity. I try to provide a call to action to throw off the shackles of the old world and to build a new one. So many companies play defense. Cut costs, watch the competition, follow best practices. Great entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk play offense. They see the world with fresh eyes, taking off the blinders that keep companies using technology to make slight improvements to existing products and practices, rather than imagining the world as it could be, given the new capabilities that technology has given us.
We Get What We Ask For: Towards a New Distributional EconomicsTim O'Reilly

Towards a New Distributional EconomicsTim O'Reilly
A talk I gave on December 1, 2017 for a workshop on AI and the future of the economy organized by the OECD and the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy. In it, I explore implications of AI and internet-scale platforms for the design of markets, with the goal of starting a conversation about what we might call "distributional economics."
We forget that when technology destroy, it helps us to create new ones, as long as we remember that the point isn't just cost-reduction, but doing things that were previously impossible! That means both solving hard problems, and pairing technology with people in ways that play to the strengths of each. My keynote at Strata+Hadoop World London, May 2017.

My talk to the joint OECD/G20 German Presidency conference on digitalization in Berlin on January 12, 2017. Fitness landscapes as applied to technology, business, and the economy. Note that the fitness landscape slides will not be animated in this PDF, which I shared this way so that you could see my narrative in the speaker notes. While it has some slides in common with my White House Frontiers conference talk, it includes a bunch of other material.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

So let me start with a word cloud of the words in the Internet of Things entry on Wikipedia. (By the way, that entry could really use some
work, and this group here is probably the right one to fix it.) You’ll see a huge focus on Things and Devices and Objects.
And those things are “smart.”

And to be sure, there are amazing smart things here at Solid. I want that Taktia smart router that can make it easy for me to
cut straight lines.

I want to highlight two other words in the word cloud. Look at this little word “people.” People are a really important
part of this emerging future. And I also want to highlight this tiny word over here: “Time.” People and Time are a
very big part of the IoT story. We need to get these a lot bigger in that word cloud!

“The Internet of Smart Things”
Sensor and data driven
Autonomous
No human input
Real time
What We Tend to Imagine
8Thursday, May 22, 14
Here are some of the ideas that I think are commonly associated with the notion “smart things.” But are they right?
Are they a good map? Or do they mislead us?
9. @timoreilly #OReillySolid
Which one of these things is smart?
Smart Dumb?
9Thursday, May 22, 14
Most of you who have heard me talk about this subject before know that I’m fascinated by the connection between the Google
autonomous vehicle and the Google Street view car. Is the autonomous vehicle smart, and the street view car dumb? I don’t
think so. The two are part of a system, that includes both machines and humans. Those humans are augmented by sensors,
but are a critical part of the system. And the human input into the system is NOT real time, but is instead time-delayed. There
are a huge number of key concepts to unpack here.
10. @timoreilly #OReillySolid
Human input is critical
That human input may be time delayed, as a
learned memory
That human input may be implicit rather than
explicit

Or consider the Nest Learning Thermostat. The Nest “learns.” But who teaches it? We do, both by explicit actions, like turning the heat up or
down
13. @timoreilly #OReillySolid
13Thursday, May 22, 14
And of course, if you have one of these things, you realize that a lot of the input you give is the “old fashioned way”, through your phone or
tablet.
15. @timoreilly #OReillySolid
But remember, they are still
USER INTERFACES
15Thursday, May 22, 14
Explore, test, measure, just like you do with any other UI in the modern world. There is a huge period of experimentation ahead on the UI front. Do we
tell our devices what we want by touching them, by talking to them, or just by being around them? How do these modes relate? For example, it
seems to me that when I set an explicit schedule for my Nest, it stops learning. (I guess people do that too, which is why it’s best to set a vision
rather than be too explicit!)
16. @timoreilly #OReillySolid
Beautiful, smart, but didn’t think about
how I might want to use it
16Thursday, May 22, 14
Here’s a great example of a smart thing that misses the mark because it didn’t think enough about the user. The Tesla key is beautiful. It
wakes up my car automatically, and has hidden controls I can double click. But guess what: I can’t put it on a key ring. That’s a design failure.

There’s this great sticker that gets handed out by the UK Government Digital Service - I got this sheet of them from the UK CTO, Liam
Maxwell - that says “What is the user need?” The GDS has done a great job of focusing on designing with user needs put first, and
there’s a lesson there for hardware designers too. (GDS Design Principles: https://www.gov.uk/design-principles )
19. @timoreilly #OReillySolid

It’s important not to look at a device like the Nest in isolation. It’s connected to the phone, they’ve introduced their smoke detector
that is networked through the house, and uses the wifi-connected thermostat as its hub....
20. @timoreilly #OReillySolid
20Thursday, May 22, 14
That’s also true of the Google self-driving car. It’s in a network that relies on GPS satellites, data in data centers. And
eventually connections with other cars and smart road infrastructure like traffic lights that will broadcast in advance
how long till they are about to change, so cars can optimize their speed.

And within that cloud data center, there are cooling systems that are packed with sensors to automatically regulate the temperature
and control the flow of warm and cold fluids through the data center’s circulatory system. And those cloud centers are themselves
networked.

“The Network of Networks”
Interoperability!
Interoperability!
Interoperability!
22Thursday, May 22, 14
But if we are going to be thinking about this “Internet of Things” as part of the Internet, let’s make it a real internet. And that means
Interoperability, Interoperability, Interoperability. They used to call the Internet “the network of networks” because all the old networks
didn’t talk well to each other. Let’s not repeat that mistake. Right now, we don’t really have an Internet of Things. We have a bunch
of Intranets of Things.

The Robustness Principle
“Be conservative in what
you send, be liberal in
what you accept from
others.”
RFC 761
Jon Postel
23Thursday, May 22, 14
One of the key tenets of the early internet design was something called “The Robustness Principle.” The idea was that the internet would
be robust if people followed what really amounts to the Golden Rule applied to networks. “Be conservative...”
This needs to be true of the Internet of Things as well.

There’s another framing concept about networks that is a key part of my thinking. Dave Stutz, in his parting letter
to Microsoft back in 2003, had this great line “Software above the level of a single device.” It has shaped my thinking
ever since.

Consider Uber - not generally thought of as an IoT startup. (Though it should be. It depends on the sensors in the smartest
devices any of us carry around today - our smartphones. It’s not just an app. It’s a network. It only works because not only the
passenger but a network of drivers are reporting their locations at all times. The whole thing depends on what I’ve long been
calling “the Internet operating system.” You have features like communications, payment, reputation, many of which come from
outside vendors via API.

“Uber is a $3.5 billion lesson in building
for how the world *should* work
instead of optimizing for how the
world *does* work” - Aaron Levie of
Box.net
26Thursday, May 22, 14
But here’s the point I really want to make here: Aaron Levie of Box said it perfectly in a tweet: “Uber is a $3.5 billion lesson in
building for how the world *should* work instead of optimizing for how the world *does* work.”
Once “things” become smart, you can reinvent the whole business process, what IBM calls “systems of interaction.”
Uber is reinventing the taxi business. What else could be completely reinvented?
27. @timoreilly #OReillySolid

Another service that uses the location sensor to rethink a real world process into “how it ought to be” instead of how it is, is @coverpay.
This is one of the companies we invested in at OATV. It gives an uber-like experience for restaurants. When you’re done, you just
get up and walk out. Your credit card is automatically charged, because the restaurant knows who you are. GPS, images, but also
credit cards bypassed by cloud registration - remember that mag stripe is a primitive way of getting data in and out via sensor too!
There’s a design pattern here: when you know several things about someone (e.g. restaurant reservation + location + face) you can
do things (with permission) like charge a credit card automatically. By the way, Cover just launched in San Francisco, and if
you sign up and use my twitter handle (@timoreilly) as a referrer code, you’ll get a $10 discount on your first order. Drinks on me! (Works
in NY too.)

Another amazing one is Makespace. What they realized is that if you can take pictures, so you know what you put in your storage boxes, they
can be stored and retrieved in a whole new way - much more like a modern warehouse retrieves stuff rather than your crowded storage locker
loaded with boxes whose contents are soon unknowable. And this illustrates that it doesn’t have to be super complex sensing. It’s more a matter
of thinking how to deploy sensors and then ask yourself what you can do differently now that you know something via that sensor.
And remember that the camera and the microphone are among the most important sensors. We are used to them, and we take them for granted.

Work on what is hard
29Thursday, May 22, 14
I want to close with an appeal. We are at a moment when we are gaining great new capabilities, and can build applications that would have
seemed magical to people only a few years ago. And it’s still only the beginning!
But don’t just think about building cool new consumer applications. Work on what is hard. The physical world isn’t just something we do for
entertainment or information sharing. It’s the place where we actually live, where “matters of life and death” isn’t a metaphorical saying.
Think about meaningful real world problems that you can make a difference with. Thank you very much.
