🌟 TECH NEWS! 🌟 🚀 TechChicago Week is back, highlighting Pritzker's crowning achievements at yesterday's Morning Press Conference! From quantum testing campuses to EV manufacturing, Illinois and Chicago are experiencing tremendous job growth in 2024. Chicago's tech scene has faced challenges, but our tech sector is thriving again thanks to new advancements.   "Tech Week is important to Chicago," says Tifair Hamed Chief Marketing Officer of P33. "We want to showcase our tech ecosystem to attract funding, talent, and founders." Opening night features Gov. JB Pritzker, who's secured federal funding for quantum tech and boosted biotech and EV manufacturing in Illinois. His presence underscores his commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship.   Since 2012, investments have turned Chicago into a tech hub, with giants like Google and Facebook setting up shop. TechChicago Week offers a chance to reconnect and reignite our tech community. Tech workers comprise almost 10% of Chicago's workforce, but diversity remains a challenge. We aim to address this and build on our momentum.   Join us at the new Lincoln Yards life sciences building for transformative events.   👉 Read the full Axios Chicago article for more information on how the Tech community thrives again! https://lnkd.in/eCr5BMYn   Still don't have your ticket?

Incredibly proud to see how much All Tech Is Human has grown! When I launched it in 2018, it was merely an idea. Today it is the beating heart of the Responsible Tech movement that weaves together key fields such as Responsible AI, Trust & Safety, and Public Interest Technology. Today is the release of the 2024 Ecosystem Pulse Report: Responsible Tech Demographics, a year-long project by our Siegel Family Endowment Research Fellow Sara M. Watson which details our 42k and growing global community that is extremely diverse across disciplines, geographies, and sectors. You can freely download our report (in the comments). What may surprise some people is that our community is 25% entry-level AND 20% C-suite/exec-level. This is entirely by design, as the direction for All Tech Is Human has always been around creating a big tent that draws in the experienced with the emerging. And by creating a flywheel of activities, it allows for new voices to enter the ecosystem and be mentored (we have a large program), attend in-person and virtual gatherings, grow their skills in a working group, and be part of our large Slack community that is approaching 10k member across more than 90 countries. Give the report a read and tell me what ideas you have for continuing to expand. This growth wouldn't be possible without our incredible team and advisors, dozens of affiliates and mentors, hundreds of working group members, and thousands of community members who deeply care about co-creating a better tech future--one aligned with the public interest. Another big thank you to the supporters behind our non-profit org, such as the The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation (under the leadership of Vilas Dhar). We need a better process and approach, which is what we are building at All Tech Is Human. We need the power to affect, not just be affected. Our tech future needs to evolve in tandem with our collective will, not merely be molded by our reactions to it. Seeing thousands of people come together across the globe to tackle thorny tech and society issues is quite inspiring. And the result is powerful. For those of you in NYC, we will be celebrating the report with a Responsible Tech Mixer tonight. Sara will also be talking about the findings this Thursday with a livestream. #AllTechIsHuman #ResponsibleTech

📊 In many cases, statistics alone do not capture the full picture. 🔢 45% of pension-age adults are disabled Scope 🔢 1/4 adults have a disability Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 🌍 An expected 3.5 billion people will need assistance by 2050 World Health Organization But these numbers still fall short of explaining why we need accessibility at the core of technology development. Whether it’s making a purchase online, opening a banking account, or requesting support in an emergency, these are fundamental rights for individuals to live in a society — and technologies play a huge role here. The misconceptions about market demand for accessible designs and unclear ROI on accessibility reflect why many companies lag behind. That is why we need to talk about the best practices for integrating inclusion and accessibility in tech design. I am glad to join forces with Rachael Austen from Discover Financial Services; Magdalena Rogl from Microsoft and Martin Müller from Tangity/NTT DATA to discuss this topic at Tech Day Munich.

We may already be in WW3, but Stanford students block their peers from forming an industry club for defense tech. This is the first major counterpoint in the trend of top MBA programs joining the fray to strengthen the arsenal of democracy. Two years ago there was just one top MBA program with a defense tech club (MIT Sloan Global Security Technology Club). Today, there are several. Same for conferences, with the first HBS-MIT conference in 2022. Today, many sharp Americans who could do anything with their careers - these are MBAs & undergrads, hackers & PhDs - more and more of them look to defense technology for their next job. They know that we'll be safer if our warfighters and spies have better tools, safer systems, and more advanced apps. I know the GSB students will be quite capable of entering defense tech, but I'm disappointed that their peers voted down their club application. Thanks to all the leaders in #defensetechnology like Evan S.
