Drawing from over two decades of research and public engagement, the author offers nuanced insights into how technology intersects with human values and societal norms.

Through these essays, she addresses critical topics such as the ethical considerations in AI deployment, the responsibilities of designers in drawing insights from big data, the challenges of digital parenting in an always-connected world, the imperative of continuous education in the digital age, and the necessity of ensuring that technology serves to include rather than exclude or exploit.
