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. By leveraging the collective intelligence of the community, we can build a more thoughtful tech future. Sign-up for the All Tech Is Human newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/3f16dce2a6a9/alltechishuman.
