As part of Grace Hopper Celebration week, ITP's alum Margaret Stewart, shared a few things she learned over the years about how to innovate responsibly when building for a diverse and global community. Here’s an adapted excerpt from her keynote.
"Optimism is crucial to innovation; you can’t innovate sustainably without it. But over the years, sometimes through challenging lessons, we as an industry have learned the hard way that unbridled techno-optimism — the belief that technological advancements are inevitably net positive for the world — isn’t a healthy approach to responsible innovation."
