"Technology is going to shape the future. I’d rather see more of us shaping the technology." -Katy Knight, President and Executive Director at the Siegel Family Endowment Katy Knight was interviewed for our latest Responsible Tech Guide, where she discussed spending less time playing defense and more time actively shaping technology. We also hear from Katy on the role of non-technical individuals in the Responsible Tech movement, how she built her own career, and the important intersections between philanthropy and policy. #ResponsibleTech #AllTechIsHuman https://lnkd.in/gemVvMKJ

Responsible AI depends on more than technical expertise. As our CEO Ayah Bdeir puts it: "Data is not just a technical question. It is about culture, consent, history, and whose knowledge gets represented. Openness determines who gets access, who can look inside, and who can challenge or improve something. "There is already so much knowledge across engineering, design, education, ethics, law, and civil society. The problem is that these people are often not in the same conversation. I find a lot of the opportunity in the translation between those worlds." Many of those perspectives appear in the All Tech is Human 2026 Responsible Tech Guide. It features Current AI's CEO Ayah Bdeir, alongside Baratunde Thurston, Bo Young Lee 이보영 , Katie Harbath, Joanna Shields, and others working on technology across different fields. If you build, fund, teach, or govern AI, hearing beyond your own field can broaden the perspectives that shape decisions about whose knowledge is represented and who gets access. Thank you to David Ryan Polgar and the team at All Tech Is Human for including Ayah and bringing these invaluable insights together.

"A better tech future starts with what young people already want. Technology promises connection, self-expression, identity, and independence, which are exactly the things kids are looking for. In a better future, they get them without paying with their sleep, their confidence, their friendships, or their mental health." -Jennifer Siebel Newsom, First Partner of California, Co-Founder of California Partners Project, Founder of The Representation Project, Mother of Four We were thrilled to interview Jennifer Siebel Newsom for our latest Responsible Tech Guide, which you can download now. #ResponsibleTech #AllTechIsHuman https://lnkd.in/gDNK8VVt

We see this as a DIM lens (deterministic, inevitable, mystical) that views technology as a magical, unstoppable force. It's not. All tech is human, after all. This year's Responsible Tech Guide also mentions several activities and resources for you to get more involved with the Responsible Tech movement. They include: 📌 Joining our large Slack community of 15k members across 122 countries. 📌 Attending our Responsible Tech Summit on October 29 at The Times Center in Manhattan (livestreamed as well) 📌 Reading our two new white papers 📌 Utilizing our Responsible Tech Job Board 📌 Taking our Responsible AI courses 📌 Joining or starting an ATIHx gathering, independently organized community meet-ups happening all over (3 were held just this week) 📌 Collaborating with All Tech Is Human on a future workshop and white paper 📌 Videos from Tech Together: Move Fast & Tell Jokes....because right now we need both laughter and a narrative change. #ResponsibleTech #AllTechIsHuman
