Pro-Human Technology

On this episode of Confluence, host Rana Sarkar turns to the private and not-for-profit sectors to get the perspective of folks who really understand the human side of technology and the implications of technology policy on real people. To do this, Sarkar speaks with Aza Raskin—Co-Founder of the Center for Humane Technology and the Earth Species Project—as well as Yael Eisenstat—Future of Democracy Fellow at the Berggruen Institute, Founder of Kilele Global risk advisory firm, and former Senior Intelligence Officer for the United States. Coming from diverse backgrounds in engineering, intelligence, and corporate leadership, these two guests understand the harms that misuse of tech can cause to unwitting citizens. These harms are serious, and both guests advocate for a more humane standard for the tech industry that is grounded in supporting rather than exploiting users. In this conversation, Sarkar and his guests discuss the role that public-private partnership in tandem with comprehensive regulation can have in shaping the landscape.Links:Aza Raskin LinkedIn  Aza Raskin WebsiteAza Raskin WikipediaYael Eisenstat WebsiteYael Eisenstat LinkedInYael Eisenstat TwitterYael Eisenstat WikipediaCenter for Humane TechnologyEarth Species ProjectBerggruen InstituteKilele GlobalAdditional Resources:Section 230 Debate on Electronic Frontier FoundationSection 230 Debate on The VergeSection 230 review by US Department of JusticeYour Undivided Attention PodcastYael Eisenstat TED TalkYaël Eisenstat: 'Facebook is ripe for manipulation and viral misinformation'What This CIA Veteran Learned Helping Facebook With ElectionsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
