Foundations of Humane Technology
We’ve paused the current course while working on a new version.
Please fill out this short form to be notified when Version 2 is ready.
We are also exploring offering workshops for organizations.
If you’re interested in a workshop, let us know via this form.
The new course will give technology builders, policymakers, educators, students, and others practical guidance on what it means to build more humane technology, centering AI and social media. The course also addresses the challenge of shifting the surrounding incentive structures to support more humane products.
