Summary

The Center for Humane Technology (CHT) researches the societal harms of persuasive technology, social media, and AI systems, advocating for design and policy reforms that prioritize human well-being over engagement metrics. Their work examines how technology platforms exploit psychological vulnerabilities, contributing to polarization, mental health crises, and erosion of democratic norms. They produce reports, frameworks, and public education materials aimed at policymakers, technologists, and the general public.

•Produces policy recommendations and frameworks for technology governance and responsible AI deployment
•Founded by former tech insiders (including Tristan Harris) bringing industry-insider perspective to tech critique
•Connects near-term harms from current AI/tech systems to longer-term risks of increasingly powerful AI
