Over the next two decades, connected products will demand an unprecedented amount of user trust. Technologists and designers will ask the public for yet more of their attention, more of their data, more of their lives. AIs will know users’ deepest secrets.

We mistakenly believe that technology is neutral; that inert objects cannot have moral characteristics.
