The Technology and Society Initiative at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School
From social media and online marketplaces to fintech and digital health, platform and artificial intelligence-driven technological advancements have brought about remarkable opportunities for innovation and improvement in our quality of life. These technologies have streamlined communication, provided unprecedented access to information and services, and improved health outcomes through telemedicine and personalized care.
At the same time, the benefits of technology are accompanied by profound challenges, such as misinformation, digital addiction, discrimination, new social pressures, and hidden fees. The Technology and Society Initiative at Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School is dedicated to working toward a tech sector that fosters a positive social impact, improving people’s day-to-day lives while anticipating and mitigating the risks and harms of technology.
We strive to understand how business decisions, policy frameworks, and consumer behaviors interact to shape the impact of technology on our lives. Drawing on these frameworks, we aim to provide insights and solutions that promote a vibrant, ethical, and inclusive tech ecosystem. Our Washington, D.C. location offers an exciting environment in which to engage business and policy leaders with research and dialogue.
