Looking Back to Make Progress Ahead

I’ve worn many titles throughout my career, all of which have shaped me into the person that I am today. It’s important that we as a society reflect on how much the workforce has changed in the past two years and continues to evolve in front of our eyes. In a year when millions of people across the world have struggled to manage their lives and work through a dual health and financial crisis, we have been reminded - yet again - why diversity, inclusion policies and practices are critical.

Responsible Tech in an Era of Hostile Tech

The reach of technology is extending into more and more sensitive and complex arenas, from credit decisions and medical diagnoses to sentencing — to name just a few. In addition, there continues to be little discussion around what boundaries should exist to protect individuals and organizations, although legislation and regulation is increasing coming into play. While technologists don’t have an analogue to the Hippocratic oath, we still need to consider what responsibilities we have to those who use the technology that we build, as well as those who are invisible during the design process.… read more
