We often think of the challenges created by technology as
separate and disconnected, so trying to solve them feels like
playing the world's hardest game of Whac-A-Mole.

What if, instead, we tackled them at the root by identifying the
patterns in design, development, and deployment that are causing
these issues? Once we understand what's driving inhumane tech, we
can develop a set of principles for building humane
tech.

In this week’s episode of Your Undivided Attention, Aza Raskin
sits down with fellow CHT co-founder Randy Fernando to walk
through CHT's Seven Principles of Humane Technology. For each
principle, they draw on real-world examples from the podcast and
beyond to clearly illustrate how these principles (and their
absence) show up in the world.

CORRECTIONS

Aza incorrectly named Tina Rosenberg as one of the founders of
Solutions Journalism. Her organization's name is the Solutions
Journalism Network.

Aza stated that “chatbots are better than any human at persuading
people out of conspiracy theories.” This is in reference to a
study that found AIs to be very slightly more persuasive than
human experts; we can’t extrapolate from that that they are
better than any human. The point stands that they are
remarkably good persuasion machines.

Aza referred to EO Wilson as the “father of evolutionary
biology,” but the field he is largely credited with founding is
sociobiology.

Aza cited Spain and Denmark as examples of countries that have
banned social media for teens. However, these countries have only
proposed such bans; they have not been enacted.
