Tech Ethics for Innovators
Come and join our special Tech Ethics for Innovators session at the Bristol Tech Festival.
Discussions about the unintended consequences of technology and the role of ethics have become an important topic of debate for governments, regulators , academics, civil society and businesses around the world.
