No one's coming - it's up to us: it's past time for technologists to be responsible to society

I think we – collectively, and definitely not just technologists on their own – need to figure out the societies we want first. The future we want. Have the hard conversations, better understand the compromises, be forced to make clearer priorities and decisions. Then we can figure out the technology, the tools, that can help get us there.

The sooner technologists understand that technology doesn’t fix human nature the better.
