Mission

About the Center for Humane Technology: The Center for Humane Technology (CHT) is a San Francisco-based 501c3 nonprofit. CHTs mission is to align technology with humanitys best interests. We aim to shift technology towards a more humane future that supports our well-being, democratic functioning, and shared information environment. What we do: We sound the alarm on the catastrophic effects of runaway technology. Todays powerful tech companies are driven by perverse incentives. Our work illuminates the forces fueling a broken system.We pursue strategic solutions through an empowered network. We work closely with a network of partners, experts, senior officials, executives, and other leaders to build shared understanding and take collective action.We provide practical resources for a growing community of changemakers through a variety of resources like our podcast, free online course, and toolkits.
