Have you ever been in a meeting or workshop where someone suggested a technology solution that sounded great on paper, but later turned out to have unintended consequences or negative impacts? As someone who cares about building products that are better for society, I know how frustrating it can be to see good intentions go awry. That’s why I paired with my colleague Alexander Steinhart to write an article on responsible tech as a facilitator.

Whether you’re a product manager, designer, or simply someone who cares about the impact of technology on society, this article has something for you. I believe that responsible tech is not only possible, but necessary, and as a community, we can work towards building better products for everyone.
