In a world where spray-on skin is helping burn victims, where driverless cars are programmed to make ethical decisions, and nearly anyone can design 3D printed guns or DNA or the Internet, how do we ensure that inventors and users of technology have the ethical fiber and strong empathetic skills needed to build and use technology responsibly? In what ways are companies finding and retaining talent with these critical skills? What are the ways to bake empathy and ethics into the technology? How are we preparing the next generation of inventors and users for a world where technologies with both life-saving and life-taking potential are democratized and in the hands of many?
