Should we dread Threads?

Hello and welcome back to yet another season of the Tech for Good Live podcast. A podcast all about the ways technology does good in the world. Starting from next week, we’ve got a jam packed season for you, delving into all things tech and good. And bad.  You’ll hear from Dan at BanktheFood. We’ll be talking to Phyllida Swift from Face Equality International, Rachel Pattinson from Open Lab at Newcastle Uni and Nicky Clegg will joining us from STEM Learning  We are looking forward to all of that and hope you are too!   In the meantime, we have something a little different for you for this bonus episode.  We often chat to our wonderful guests, but we don’t often tell you much about our team, other than of course important things like what their favourite pizza topping is, or if they were a cartoon character which would it be… so today we chat to the team with a series of mini interviews.  Who you will hear (and when) :  Tom Passmore (from 02:00) Tom tells us about his work with Dsposal, and their mission to make managing waste easier for everyone. If you want to hear more from Tom and his exploration of the Circular Economy, check out our special podcast series all about it.   Harry Bailly (from 08:50) As an agility coach, Harry tells us about his work training tech teams of all sizes, helping to improve agility, boost productivity and supporting wellbeing through mentoring, pair coding and process improvement.   Fay Scofield (from 17:15) Fay is the founder of Catnip Comms: A social media consultancy with a focus on charities. She tells us all about the trials and tribulations of running a social media consultancy in the modern social media era.   Paul Jakubowski (from 25:08) Producer Paul talks about his move to Norway and his work with No Isolation, and their mission to bring people together through warm technology and knowledge. There's a mention for an old TFGL favorite, the AV1 telepresence robot for managing persistent school absence, and Komp, the one button computer connecting generations.    Greg Ashton (from 33:30) Podcast research supremo Greg talks about his journey from the toxic toy industry to working as a Service Designer for the Department for Work and Pensions.   Rebecca Rae-Evans (from 41:40) And finally, our host has the mic turned on her. She tells us about her return to the service designer world, after years of running and managing tech for good focussed design teams.

Digital Maturity

We have an action packed episode of greatness for you this week. Amazon have teamed up with the NHS. What could go wrong? Stanford are doing something around facial recognition. There is also something in the agenda about “Giving a Shit for Good”. That seems on brand. We have a smaller team this time out, small but mighty. Like poorly diluted Vimto. It’s too syrupy. Too strong. Everyone regrets it. But it is powerful. Host Bex Rae-Evans is joined by Reason Digital's Greg Ashton, and Head of Design at Snook, Jonny Rae-Evans. Topics discussed in the episode: Stat of the week: 10,000 images and 82,000 annotated heads is just one data set created by Stanford university for facial recognition datasets https://nyti.ms/2Lho8hT Charity news of the week:  Give a shit for good: https://giveashitforgood.org/ Tech news of the week: Quick mention for the Facebook record fine: https://bit.ly/2XRrNcM Main story - Amazon to team up with NHS: https://bit.ly/30OEUbV Related: https://bit.ly/2O4Jy3P https://bit.ly/2xKdqaK And finally...

The Scale of Evil

Hot on the heels of our WorkerTech podcast, we look at promotion opportunities for part time staff. A charity has created a new cancer support map. Facebook and Google go to war with Apple. And have the police gone too far? … Is now the time of facial recognition software? Bex was away in lovely Bristol and we are sadly guestless due to the dreaded winter lurgy, but thankfully host Jonny-Rae Evans, Greg Aston, Ben White and Producer Paul held down the fort. This weeks topics: Part-time workers have just 21% chance of being promoted as opposed to full-time which is 45% And 78% are working beyond their contracted hours: https://www.workingfamilies.orghttps://www.workingfamilies.org.uk/news/mfi_2019/.uk/news/mfi_2019/ Dimbleby Cancer Care launches cancercaremap.org: https://www.charitydigitalnews.co.uk/2019/01/30/charity-creates-online-cancer-support-map/ Facebook caught sucking up data, the problem wasn’t they broke the law, they broke Apple’s terms of service….and then Google got caught too: https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/29/facebook-project-atlas/ https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/30/googles-also-peddling-a-data-collector-through-apples-back-door/ Police facial recognition test: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/facial-recognition-cameras-technology-london-trial-met-police-face-cover-man-fined-a8756936.html And finally...

The importance of employees being able to support one another, to organise and take shared action.

TFGL and the Circular Economy - Episode 1

Sara Wachter-Boettcher

This is the fifth in a special series in partnership with The Federation, exploring ethics in tech.In this episode, we talk about 'Toxic Tech' with Sara Wachter-Boettcher.She talks to us about the concepts in her book Technically Wrong, Sexist apps, biased algorithms and other threats of toxic tech.Buying groceries, tracking our health, finding a date: whatever we want to do odds are we can do online but how often do we question the design of these products and experiences? Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women, sign up forms that fail anyone who’s not straight. Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black people behind bars.The algorithms Facebook and other tech companies use to boost engagement – and increase profits – have led to spectacular failures of sensitivity and worse. How can we fight back?Sara is a Philadelphia-based web consultant and the author of two additional books for web professionals: Design for Real Life, with Eric Meyer and Content Everywhere. She helps organisations make sense of their digital content and is a recognised worldwide conference speaker.

TFGL at The Federation Episode 5 - Toxic Tech with Sara Wachter-Boettcher

Three really is the magic number this week with the three amigos taking the reigns as they discuss another thinly veiled attempt to sell stuff disguised as a report, a fantastic new ad campaign from Channel 4 on hate speech and mental health chatbot that’s been getting some great reviews from its users.The three musketeers also took some time to discuss the ethical conundrum of whether to carry out an ocean clean up job if it runs the risk of causing harm to the marine life. This is all before Greg yet again uses the pod to talk about stuff he’s been up to, this time Spider-Man. He has no-one else to talk about this with so we let him off.
