ALL TECH IS HUMAN

All Tech Is Human is an accelerator for tech consideration and hub for the Responsible Tech movement. By promoting knowledge-sharing & collaboration among a broad range of stakeholders, we aim to lessen the gap between how quickly we develop and deploy emerging technology and how slowly we consider its use, misuse, and unintended consequences.
