Digital Responsibility

Digital Responsibility is a new Uncommon Table series offered by the Institute for Social Innovation and moderated by technology professor Rubén Mancha. 

As our executive director, Cheryl Kiser, says, "If you look at the UN Global Goals, none of them are going to scale without technology."  These conversations will explore the responsible development and use of digital technologies – from AI to 5G – in startups and organizations for scaling economic and social value. 

As with all our Uncommon Tables, come when you can, stay as long as you’d like. All are welcome.

Join the conversation.
