Post-Techlash Tech
Will the coronavirus crisis reset our relationship to tech? And if so, which principles should we apply to shape a more humane technology going forward? This Living Room Session featured John C. Havens, executive director at The IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems; Kit McDonnell, systems biologist at Ginkgo Bioworks; and Jared Ficklin, chief creative technologist at argodesign. From ethical guidelines for AI to the promise of synthetic biology to “fantastic futures,” they each presented a different vision of humane technology.
