Technology has immense power to help people. A single-minded focus on profits often requires companies to ignore 95% of humanity for excellent business reasons. Sometimes, companies mistake their economic interest as a valid reason to do things that actively hurt human beings. Our speaker will provide a more optimistic vision of how technologists, entrepreneurs and investors can choose a more positive path, using the innovation tools of Silicon Valley to maximize human benefit while still honoring most of the constraints of our modern capitalist system. He will share his path from helping blow up a private enterprise rocket, building venture-backed machine learning companies in Silicon Valley, and how he found his life’s work adapting the latest tech innovations to serve the other 95% of humanity.
