Stanford University - Ethics of Technology
2021
Led an effort with three professors (Mehran Sahami, Rob Reich, and Jeremy Weinstein) to determine what the work of Computer Science 182 (Ethics, Public Policy, and Technological Change) and a new book, System Error, could be converted to in terms of initiatives. Formulated a new set of university fellowships to drive impact in the tech sector, as well as tightly coordinated work with VCs and a concept of a free university for learning the ethics of technology.
