Meeting The Moment

We are in a critical moment. Rapid advances in AI are bringing changes that make our work more urgent than ever. 
Our programs arm tech and AI builders with the skills and tools they need to make design, engineering and go-to-market decisions with an ethics-forward approach.

Individuals trained in our curriculum learn not only how to do the right thing, but bring value to their organizations by delivering:
Cost efficiencies
Process improvements
More effective cross-functional communication
Brand reputation value
New market value
Risk mitigation against unforeseen hazards and unintended consequences

How and Who We Train

Technology and AI builders shape the products that shape our world. That’s why we focus on educating, convening, and empowering builders with the frameworks, resources, and skills they need to make better decisions throughout the product lifecycle. The work of a single engineer, architect, data scientist, UX designer, digital marketer, cybersecurity expert, or tech founder has the potential to impact millions of people. 

Educate

Our curriculum reframes the questions builders ask when they are creating, and helps them better collaborate with stakeholders and cross-functional teams. We deliver our curriculum via:

  • Ethical Tech Fellowship
  • Corporate Trainings
  • Trainings for Trainers & Consultants
  • Public Talks and Events
  • Thought Leadership

Convene

Doing the right thing in real world circumstances can be challenging. We support builders with a community of like-minded peers so no one has to go it alone.

  • Meetups
  • Online community for tech and AI builders
  • Synthesized tech for good best practices

Empower

We make it easier for builders to adopt best practices and get industry support for their projects.

  • Tools, frameworks, and resources including the Privacy Stack, a reference architecture for simple and clear privacy-by-design. 
  • Connections to investors interested in responsible tech and AI
