has made your life better?
Made life worse?

6. Do you feel the internet has had
a positive impact on society?
A negative one?

8. The future
Now is the time for
responsible technology

9. Responsible Technology
considers the social impact it
creates and seeks to understand
and minimise its potential
unintended consequences

10. Responsible technologies:

Doteveryone is a think tank established to
champion responsible technology for the good
of everyone in society

16. Exploring the impact of
technology on society -
exposing the challenges and
opportunities digital
technology is offering us
Prototyping
Testing and showing what
responsible technology
looks like
Collaborating
Building active communities
and networks to transform
the way technology shapes
our world
Research

18. We’re focused on providing
knowledge and ability to make
Responsible Technology the
New Normal

19. Exploring thoughts
and attitudes:
People, Power and Technology

21. 1/3 of people are
aware that data they
have not actively
chosen to share has
been collected.
1/4 have no idea
how internet
companies make
their money.

23. 2/3 say
government
should be helping
ensure companies
treat their
customers, staff
and society fairly.

24. To make Responsible
Technology the New
Normal
We need to ensure
people have digital
understanding

25. Calling for Policy
and Regulation

26. We need investment in new
forms of public engagement and
education
Shared standards for
understandability and
transparency
Independent regulation and
accountability

27. We need strong Digital
Leadership
To make Responsible
Technology the New
Normal

28. Internet and
Communities:
Strengthening and Protecting
What Matters Most

29. Building
Relationship
between Users
Price Discrimination
Collective Action

30. To make Responsible
Technology the New
Normal
We need to join the
dots between social
issues and
technology

31. Iterating the
Industry

32. We prototyped a
Trustworthy Tech
System

33. Responsible
Technology

34. To make Responsible
Technology the New
Normal
We want to create ways for
thinking about
responsibilities to society to
become embedded within
the process of creating,
maintaining and updating
technology.

35. Now let’s put our
brains together!

37. Responsible Technology
considers the social impact it
creates and seeks to understand
and minimise its potential
unintended consequences

STEP

Part 1:
Choose a part
of the system
Part 2:
Identify some of the
potential impacts and
consequences of this
tech if it were to scale
Part 3:
In your chosen role within
the system, how would you
minimise the impacts you
identified?
Part 4:
Present back to
the group

40. Part 1:
Choose a part of the system:
• An individual
• A community [decide what community you are]
• Government [decide what level]
• Civil society [what type of organisation]
• Tech industry [imagine yourself as the creator and
owner of this tech]

41. Part 2:
Identify some of the potential impacts and consequences of this
tech if it were to scale. Narrow it down to the top 2. You can
answer the following questions or come up with your own:
● How would you best use this tech in your chosen role?
● Do you think this tech could create or deepen existing inequalities? What
ones and within what communities?
● What rights could this technology potentially violate? What ones and within
what communities?
● How could a bad actor exploit this tech?
● Are there features of this tech that people could use differently to how it’s
intended?
● If this technology was successful in its intended purpose, what could that
mean? Ex: less forest fires means a new strain of killer seeds

42. Part 3:
Answer the question:
In your chosen role within the system, how would
you minimise the impacts of this technology you
identified?

43. Part 4:
Present your thinking! Tell us:
• What role within the system were you?
• What were the top 2 biggest impacts or
consequences you identified?
• How would you minimise them?

44. Building the
responsible tech
field

45. “Funders and non-profits
increasingly recognize that no
single organisation or strategy
can solve a complex social
challenge at scale.”

51. To make Responsible
Technology the New
Normal
Our goal is to establish
a responsible tech
community that
collaborates towards a
joint vision and working
principles
