Social Impact - What Have We Learned?

For smaller companies who have services that are licensed by larger companies, the responsibility just seems out of their hands. For instance, a designer working in a middle in a medical owlogy company was concerned about privacy debates - but it wasn't really within his control. A product manager at a recommend tion service put it in slightly different terms: While he may want his team to go back and fully understand why one iteration of an algorithm did one thing and another didn't, that is time wasted. That is often the immediate costs outweigh the long term benefits.
