Anything relating to technology and ethics, privacy.
I am writing about the Top 10 Ethical Issues that need attention from technology companies and public policy experts.
I am the Industry Fellow for the UT Ethics Project, and as such I am connecting industry colleagues who care about this issue with leading researchers.
If you are interested to join this early effort to create ethical frameworks usable by technology companies, if you want to create technology that is responsive to the desires of a growing number of users of technology, please reach out to me on LinkedIn.
