'We are entering a new era where we have to, as a civilization, think about what our relationship is with technology.' Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is empowering the next generation of tech leaders
documents revealing what the company knew about issues ranging from how its platforms were harming teenagers’ mental health to how they allowed the spread of misinformation. Now she has her sights trained on equipping the next generation of tech leaders with tools to make the world a better place.
“If we had a simulated social network, we could teach classes where we actually put students in [different professionals’] shoes,” Haugen tells TIME. “We could teach a more quantitative version where students have to pull the data out themselves and analyze it.
Right now, we don’t teach people to think that way until they show up at Facebook or Google or one of the other big industrial machine learning places. If we had a simulated social network, we could teach classes where we actually put students in those shoes.So let’s imagine coming to class and you’re asked a question like, should you have to click on a link before you reshare it? It sounds like a really obvious win.
Design refusal is almost intrinsically about trade-offs. It’s about the idea that you as an individual might sacrifice for the greater good. And not all programs have the same level of acknowledgement of the fact that engineers exist in society; they do not exist separately from society. So that’s difficult to contextualize.
