- The Ethics of Innovation
On the basis that innovation is neither neutral, nor an end-in-itself, here are some guidelines:
We cherish the fact that people are innately curious, playful, and creative.
This is one reason technology is not going to go away: it’s too much fun.
But we will think (and do) social and environmental value before ‘tech’
We will place the interest of the commons above the interests of private property.
Our watchword is use, not own, because possession is an old paradigm.
We will deliver value to people — not deliver people to systems.
We will give priority to human agency and will not treat humans as a ‘factor’ in some bigger picture.
We will design services that prioritize the participation of people, not services that disable them.
We will design experiences with you, if asked. We will not presume to design them for you.
We do not believe in ‘idiot-proof’ technology — because we are not idiots, and neither are you.
