The Ethical Techies Lunch Club - Oct

We advocate for tech that respects and protects human rights

🍽️ Monthly Social Lunch: We are teaming up with Microsoft Reactor to bring you our monthly Ethical Techies Social Lunch. Together, we aim to address the critical issue of ethics in the digital world and explore ways to prioritize and protect human rights as technology continues to shape our future.

🌟 Why Attend? Our primary goal is to establish a dedicated working group that will actively promote a counter-narrative focused on the impact of technology on human rights. This community is of immense value to policymakers, technologists, human rights activists, and industry leaders who share a common concern about the lack of representation and influence on how digital technology and our data shape our future.

🤝 Who We Are: We are advocates for EthiTech, a technology that is designed and developed with a strong focus on respecting and upholding human rights. We are a passionate community that connects technologists, digital rights groups, policy makers, tech companies, advocates from around the world, to build ethical practices for tech in pursuit of a humane digital world.

🎯 Our Goals:

1. Ethical Lobbying: Lobby against unethical practices by tech companies that infringe upon human rights through strategic counter-lobbying and exposure. 
2. Educational: Developing the EthicTech handbook/training to guide tech companies and tech startup founders in prioritizing ethical practices. Calling upon universities and educational institutions to mandate Ethics as an integral subject within all computer-related degree programs. Empowering the public by raising awareness about their digital rights.
3. Ethical-By-Design framework: Developing a framework that promotes responsible tech development and deployment. 
4. Global Commitment: Proposing the creation of the Universal Declaration of Digital Rights, designed for endorsement by UN members as an extension of the existing Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 
5. Advocacy: Urging tech companies to implement guardrails that rigorously evaluate the human rights impact of their technologies (Human Rights Impact Assessment).
