“We are called to be the architects of our future, not its victims”
—Buckminster Fuller
“Ethical tech will require a grassroots revolution”

“Given homogeneity of decision-making and limited education on technology, we really have to think about who has agency, power, and influence in a world in which jobs are automated or single machines are making decisions for millions of people.”
