Algorithms and data-driven approaches are shaping our lives now and well into the future; in this way, we’re at a critical moment in the world where we can either exacerbate existing inequities or we can make things better. This talk will share examples of the ‘shadow-side of technology from the likes of leading global tech giants and make a case for why non-technical people -- those with non-linear career paths, those who are under-employed, unemployed, and those with backgrounds in arts, humanities, and social sciences -- are all critical to shaping the future of tech.
