Big Tech and it's ethical issues discussed
Big tech has brought with it an obsession to make money as efficiently as possible without regard to the ethical impact on individuals and society as a whole. The authors of the 2021 book, System Error, believe the problem with big tech is that innovations are solely designed by technologists, funded by freewheeling venture capitalists, with little regulatory oversight – a formula for the long list of negative impacts of unbridled high-tech. And the big tech ethical dilemma is getting worse day by day. So, what are some solutions?
To gain a better understanding of some alternatives to lessen the negative impact and achieve a better, more positive impact of technology. You will get this overview in this previously live webinar. (Note: there will be polling questions throughout that you will not be able to answer since this is not live.)
