SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) May 28, 2020
Ethics in Technology was founded in 2013 by Vahid Razavi, technology entrepreneur and lifelong human rights and peace activist. Brett Wilkins, the founder of Moral Low Ground and editor-at-large for US news at Digital Journal, and Cristina Deptula, communications professional and human rights activist are on the board of the organization. The group advocates for corporate social responsibility from big technology companies and for a world where technology serves humanity and the planet, rather than the other way around.
“We truly value the diversity that our advisors and our board of directors reflect. We intentionally decided to bring various stakeholders together from the nonprofit and community activist sectors as well as business and not simply be another tech-driven initiative. This is a human initiative and a community initiative that hopes to be inclusive of all stakeholders. Our diversity of personal beliefs, backgrounds and life experiences gives our organization more insight on today's tech world and its impact on our communities.
