Lulu Garcia-Navarro, NPR; Should This Exist? The Ethics Of New Technology
"In fact, the 2016 election helped raise awareness of an issue that
Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake has been talking about in Silicon Valley
for years — the ethics of technology.
That conversation was furthered by OpenAI's decision to publicize the
nonrelease of their new technology last month, Fake told NPR's Lulu
Garcia-Navarro.
"Tech companies don't launch products all the
time, but it's rare that they announce that they're not launching a
product, which is what has happened here," Fake said. "The announcement
of not launching this product is basically to involve people in the
conversation around what is and what is not dangerous tech."
When evaluating potential new technology, Fake asks a fundamental question: should this exist?
It's a question she explores as host of the podcast Should This Exist?"
