Expert Panel: What even IS 'tech ethics'?; TechCrunch, April 2, 2019
Greg Epstein, TechCrunch; Expert Panel: What even IS 'tech ethics'?
"It’s been a pleasure, this past month, to launch a weekly series investigating issues in tech ethics, here at TechCrunch. As discussions around my first few pieces have taken off, I’ve noticed one question recurring in a number of different ways: what even IS “tech ethics”? I believe there’s lots of room for debate about what this growing field entails, and I hope that remains the case because we’re going to need multiple ethical perspectives on technologies that are changing billions of lives. That said, we need to at least attempt to define what we’re talking about, in order to have clearer public conversations about the ethics of technology."

The experts were right: Trump isn’t fit to be president; Washington Post, May 16, 2017
Anne Applebaum, Washington Post;
The experts were right: Trump isn’t fit to be president
"We live in an age that denigrates knowledge, dislikes expertise and demonizes experts. But now we have proof that experts are sometimes right...
At the time, Trump dismissed this letter as “nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power.” But the “elites” were right. The experts were right. Next time maybe more people will heed them."
