The type of projects I’d like to contribute to
Over the course of the last few years, I’ve increasingly become aware of how things are not going in a good direction when it comes to society and environment. I’d like to apply my skills on projects that, in particular:
- are ethical
- reduce inequality; increase equity for minorities
- are sustainable (turn back the tide on climate change)
- advance economic and social justice
- improve accessibility
This makes the follow sectors non-trivial to work in:
-
Finance/insurance/banking, in particular when it comes to projects that are aimed at increasing the wealth of the already wealthy
-
Artificial intelligence (AI) projects with no dedicated ethics team
It also rules out some sectors completely:
- Cryptocurrencies (particularly proof-of-work and proof-of-space are vile concepts)
