Tech Stewardship
What is tech stewardship? A professional identity, orientation and practice. As tech stewards, we continuously discuss, refine and imagine new ways to shape technology for the benefit of all.
System Error
A forward-thinking manifesto from three Stanford professors—experts who have worked at ground zero of the tech revolution for decades—which reveals how big tech’s obsession with optimization and efficiency has sacrificed fundamental human values and outlines steps we can take to change course, renew our democracy, and save ourselves.
The Age of AI
Not since the Age of Reason have we re-envisioned our approach to economics, order, security, and even knowledge itself. Now, the Age of AI is changing nearly everything about how we navigate the world — and what it means to be human.
The Tech Humanist
The Tech Humanist started out as a manifesto, became a book, then a livestreamed show, and then a podcast. Kate O’Neill started it but a team and the community keeps it going. It’s been a movement, really. This community is about channeling the best of our human selves to develop the best technological solutions for all of us.
Improving Social Media
It is time for greater action toward improving social media. This report, Improving Social Media: The People, Organizations and Ideas for a Better Tech Future is directed at policymakers and social media platforms with the express purpose of creating a more holistic, collective approach to improving social media.
Responsible Tech Handbook
Get ready to discover a vibrant and diverse community that is deeply committed to building a better tech future.The Responsible Tech Guide, the flagship resource for our non-profit, is structured to allow you to quickly learn about the people, organizations, and ideas of the growing movement.
Youth Toolkits
Our social media environment is broken. Want a roadmap to help fix it? Integrating expertise across technology, mindfulness, and educational instruction, this interactive toolkit helps young people navigate — and push to change — a broken social media environment.
Policymakers Toolkits
As a society, we’ve normalized digital lawlessness in the name of innovation and disruption. We need guardrails that protect the conditions that democracy needs to thrive: a comprehensively educated public, a citizenry that can check the power of market forces and bind predatory behavior.
Parents and Educators Toolkit
For school districts, educators, mental health advocates, young people, and other leaders alike, the Centre for Humane Technology’s Youth & Educators Toolkit helps high school and college students navigate — and push to change — a broken social media environment.
Your Undivided Attention
Your Undivided Attention explores the incredible power that technology has over our lives — and how we can use it to catalyze a humane future.
Coded Bias
CODED BIAS explores the fallout of MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.
The Age of Surveillance
The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior.
