Companies see the need to commit to Knowledge Sharing on The Responsible Use of Technology at WEF Annual Meeting 2022
WEF 2022: As digital technology has become an integral part of the global economy and the everyday lives of people around the world, technology companies continue to grapple with the growing impact they have on society. Over the past several years, this has led many technology companies to create ethics teams and processes.
According to this year’s event of WEF Annual Meeting 2022 Business updates, companies commit to knowledge sharing on the responsible use of technology.
The World Economic Forum Responsible Use of Technology initiative aims to provide practical resources for organizations to operationalize ethics in their use of technology. This project is part of Shaping the Future of Technology Governance: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Platform
Salesforce , a world-leading customer relationship management (CRM) company has become the third company to commit to an in-depth case study detailing their journey of developing an ethical and inclusive product practice, and operationalizing responsible technology principles across their product life cycles. Salesforce believes that companies are pivotal platforms for change and have a responsibility to help make the world a better place for all.
This case study which follows the publication of case studies on Microsoft and IBM, will be the third of this series that highlights processes, tools and organizational constructs that facilitate the responsible design, development and use of technology. The series is written in collaboration with the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University.
The Responsible Use of Technology series aims to encourage knowledge sharing across the technology industry, to encourage companies to adopt and operationalize technology ethics, and to promote discussion and evaluation of Salesforce’s methods, tools and experiences.
