We all share the responsibility of ensuring our use of technology is trustworthy and ethical.
Technology at its best
When technology serves people and society as intended, the benefits are far-reaching. But we can’t take these outcomes for granted. Prioritizing trustworthy and ethical technology can be critical to the safety, quality, and equity of our collective future. See how we can work together to make it happen.
The limits of what is possible stretch farther every day. Our sense of how to apply technology and oversee its consequences—both intended and unintended—needs to evolve at the same pace.

When technology serves people and society as intended, the benefits spread far. People can enjoy the power technology brings to their lives, work, and communities with fewer harms and fairer outcomes. But that isn’t something we can take for granted.
Let’s talk together about what comes next.
Technology continues to transform the ways we engage with—and benefit from—information, organizations, and each other. But among the promise technology holds, there is also the potential for harm. To promote the good and protect against unintended consequences society needs a new, shared understanding of what it means to create trustworthy and ethical technology.
