Module 9 – Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Responsible Innovation
IN THIS LESSON
Technology designed to create positive impact can still produce unintended consequences. Considering safety, ethics, and responsibility from the outset can help social entrepreneurs identify potential risks before they become embedded in a solution.
In this Expert Reflection, Nakshathra Suresh draws on her work in Safety by Design to explore why responsible innovation should be integrated into the development process from the very beginning, rather than addressed only after a technology has been created.
As you watch, consider:
What unintended consequences could your technology or digital solution create?
Who might be particularly affected if something goes wrong?
What principles or safeguards could you build into your solution from the start?
