Big Tech:
Social Justice & The Ethics of Disruption

In partnership with Stifel Europe

About the Project

 

The tech sector is brimful of a dangerous self-confidence that it can fix everything. But many social ills can be rightfully laid at its door and corporate experiments with Artificial Intelligence are now worrying many. What happened to our trust in tech and how can this be re-gained?

In partnership with Stifel Europe, under the leadership of CEO Eithne O’Leary, this latest in the series of Ahead of the Curves conversations looks at the reputational and regulatory challenges faced by Big Tech and explores the considerable power that such companies now possess and how that is wielded. What needs to change?
