As an active member of the AI community, I witnessed that you cannot talk about technology without talking about the impact it has on society.
I remember once, I was on stage explaining what robotic process automation is. I believe that this technology can relieve us from many repetitive tasks, that are not worth being executed by humans. So, there I was, excited about the potentials and trying to inspire my audience to adopt the technology. Then someone from the audience asked me: “you make it look all good, but this technology has the potential of replacing me, what will I do then?” at that moment I realized how little I was prepared for such questions. My engineering studies included everything I need to build an intelligent machine, but not the psychological basics I need to answer such questions. This is when I started focusing more on the impact technology has on people’s lives.
On this journey I met many experts, from whom I learned a lot. I believe their expertise is precious and worth being shared with others. That is why I decided to start this blog. I want you to meet them and to learn from their best practices.
I hope this can help you start your digital responsibility journey and I would be very grateful, if you share my articles with others, so that we are able to reach a broader audience.
As technologists we have a big responsibility for the technology we build, let us be aware of that and use it accordingly.
