ABOUT DANIELLE
ATTORNEY | TECHNOLOGY POLICY SCHOLAR | HOST, THE MISEDUCATION OF TECHNOLOGY®
Danielle A. (Davis) Canty, Esq., is an attorney and technology policy scholar whose work sits at the intersection of technology, law, policy, and society. She examines how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are challenging the frameworks we use to understand and govern the human experience.
Danielle currently serves as Senior Advisor and Director of Technology Policy Programs at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, where she leads work examining technology policy and its implications for Black communities. She is also a Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where her research initiative, Sacred Data, Secular Algorithms, explores the legal, ethical, and social questions that emerge when sacred and spiritually significant human experiences become data within artificial intelligence systems.
Danielle is also the creator and host of The Miseducation of Technology®, a podcast that makes complex technology policy conversations accessible to the people and communities most affected by them. She extends that work through her Attorney Danielle YouTube channel, where she has built an audience of more than 2,700 subscribers around accessible conversations about technology, law, policy, and their impact on everyday life.
At the heart of Danielle’s work is a simple belief: technology policy is ultimately about people. Through her research, writing, speaking, podcasting, and public scholarship, she makes complex questions about technology understandable without making them simplistic—and helps people think critically about the systems shaping their lives.

Bring These Ideas Into the Room
Conversations designed to challenge how audiences think about technology.
Danielle brings these ideas to stages, classrooms, policy forums, executive conversations, and convenings—helping audiences move beyond how emerging technologies work to consider what they mean for people, institutions, and society.
Her speaking explores artificial intelligence and the human experience, technology policy and equity, privacy and data governance, economic opportunity, faith and technology, and the legal and ethical questions emerging technologies force us to confront.
READY TO PUT THIS EXPERTISE TO WORK?
Danielle works with organizations, institutions, and leaders navigating the legal, policy, social, and human questions emerging technologies are creating.
Whether through strategic advising, research, partnerships, programming, or public-facing initiatives, the work begins with understanding not only what technology can do—but what its use means for the people and communities it affects.
