Systemic problems, such as increasing surveillance, spread of disinformation, concerning uses of predictive policing, and the magnification of unjust bias, all require systemic solutions. Individual behavior change will not address the misalignment of incentives and lack of accountability in the tech industry. We need thoughtful laws to safeguard human rights, and we do not want legislation written by corporate lobbyists. When it comes to setting policy in this area, too few legislators have the needed technical background and too few of those with knowledge of the tech industry have the needed policy background.
By hosting a Tech Policy Workshop at USF the weekend of Nov. 16 and 17 as part of our newly launched Center, we hope to facilitate collaborations between those in tech and in policy, as well as highlight the need for policy interventions in addressing ethical issues to those working in tech. The event will include a mix of talks, workshops and breakout sessions. The talks will be recorded to be shared online later.
