We EDUCATE, CONVENE, and EQUIP people to better understand why ethical use of data matters and what can be done to mitigate potential harms and hazards of data misuse in technology applications.
Our focus is on supporting builders - the engineers, designers, product teams, marketers, entrepreneurs, and business operators whose day-to-day decisions in the course of doing their jobs have an outsized impact on the software, solutions, and digital products that come to market. We support this community in three key ways:
EDUCATE
Our educate pillar is about creating context for builders, explaining the unintended harms and hazards wrought by today’s tech approach – as well as driving demand from consumers and regulators for ethical tech solutions. We articulate why misuse of data is a problem and explain what can be done differently.
CONVENE
We organize events and forums for builders to explore solutions and support each other in developing more ethical data solutions. We also collaborate with leaders across academia, policy, and business to develop best practices and to execute a path to change.
EQUIP
Our flagship program is the ETP Fellowship, which brings together a cohort of data+AI practitioners around an 8-week long structured curriculum, conversation, and community. The Fellows program builds on ETP’s prior solutions like The Privacy Stack, a reference architecture for simple and clear privacy-by-design, made by engineers for engineers. We have a vision for extending and scaling this program as well as adding to it over a five year period. Businesses must communicate – in simple language – how they will use data they collect, who it will share that data with, and how long they plan on storing the data.
A reference architecture designed to guide technologists as they design, build and maintain systems that respect privacy and process data ethically.
We saw a gap between the work and rhetoric of policymakers on the issue of data privacy and the on-the-ground reality that developers face. So, we decided to do something about it. The Privacy Stack is built by engineers, for engineers.
Once a leader agrees they are aligned with the 5 Bedrock Ethical Data Principles and confirms they meet the guidelines as a signatory, they must complete the form below as an initial submission.
The Ethical Tech Project will review the submission then, once accepted, be in touch with a set of resources to communicate the principles and empower others.
