It also has the potential to polarize us, reinforce human biases, disproportionately impact vulnerable populations, and violate our privacy. We will explore some of the promises and perils that arise from technology platforms to understand both some of the ethical issues and competing value trade-offs at stake. Ultimately, we\u2019ll examine what we might do to continue to harness the power of technology while better mitigating some of the ethical challenges it poses.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong><strong>About&nbsp;Mehran Sahami<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Mehran Sahami is the James and Ellenor Chesebrough Professor in the Computer Science department at Stanford.
