Last call for Responsible Tech
summary
Only about 1.25% of the world builds software, two thirds of people lack internet access and of those tech angst hits 24%, so the claim is that a tiny minority shapes massive societal outcomes. Concrete examples: LLMs already help design antibodies for COVID and Ebola, a US risk‑score black box produced an unchallengeable long sentence, and mortgage algorithms reproduce racial wealth gaps. The concrete deliverable is a Responsible Tech Playbook (study with MIT) and practical prompts like tarot cards of tech, ethical explorer and consequence scanning to fold into discovery and design.
