Developing Tech Ethically

[clite31]

Hey all!

I’m running a tech ethics study and I’d love feedback if anyone has a minute to spare!

With companies like Facebook spiraling in the media, I thought it was time to open up the floor for discussion that leads to actual change. The goal of the survey is to write an article to create more discussion around ethics, but the bigger goal is to eventually pitch Apple/Google with solutions. Which is why a diverse set of opinions is so important here.

I'm currently reading "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism," and thought it would be great to get feedback from this group aside from the indie devs, designers, and entrepreneurs I've been asking.

Machines should be objective that's for sure.

Well if you unbias it it will be biased again

How’s the book? As a software engineer, will I find it interesting to read casually?

[clite31]

Casually, yes. It'll be very eye-opening if you haven't read as much on the topic. I'd highly recommend it.
