As diversity, inclusion, and accessibility continue to be vital aspects of developing equitable new technologies, Trusted Future convened a panel discussion to explore these vital issues. The conversation focused on the need to include diverse voices when developing technology and technology policy, especially voices from communities that are often left out of the conversation – but who stand to gain the most. We focused on how new technological developments have created incredible opportunities for so many, but that users need to be able to trust the technologies, including trust that their sensitive data will be kept private and secure.
