Rewriting Silicon Valley’s (Ethical) Code

Join us for a timely, bold discussion with Jim Fruchterman, MacArthur Genius, Caltech-trained physicist, pioneering tech CEO, social entrepreneur, and author of the new book TECHNOLOGY FOR GOOD: How Nonprofit Leaders Are Using Software and Data to Solve Our Most Pressing Social Problems (Sept 2, MIT Press)

Jim will discuss:

• The "Social Sector Time Machine": Non-profits often lag a decade+ behind the for-profit sector in technology, a gap that presents significant opportunities for social good
• How to tell “good” tech-for-good ideas from “bad” tech-for-good ideas: Common pitfalls behind why 95% of initiatives fail
• How to invest strategically in technology: How to justify tech investments with clear payoffs in cost savings or mission impact
• How social entrepreneurs and nonprofits can leverage new AI tools: Prioritize AI applications to make humans more effective and productive rather than replace them
