A focused talk about a new variety of impact thinking. Today’s internet and AI based systems are harming quality of life, mental health, and adaptive behavior, among individuals and in the workplace. But with a more ethical investment focus, these recent-generation technologies can be repurposed to drive positive behaviors, promote career and personal development, and democratize access to opportunity. All this depends on the willingness of impact investors and highly scalable tech companies to focus on actually helping people, taking advantage of the exceptional scalability that software provides as a tool for good.
