In this episode, I speak with three Cal Poly undergraduates from my class on ethical tech. We discuss their vision for ethical technology, we talk about their concerns about the present and future of human values and tech, and they tell me about their quarter of distant learning, and what it has meant for them to live in the time of COVID.
Erin Jeffs, Nick Bell, and Geoff Sanhueza are undergraduate students at Cal Poly, working in different majors across campus, from architecture to computer science to Animal Science. We spent the last quarter getting to know each other in my class on ethical technology, where we thought together about how we might envision a more ethical, more equitable future of technological production and ideation.
They join me in this episode to share their insights about, and their vision for, ethical technology as they navigate the move from student to practitioner.
