Public Interest Technology: This is Our Work

In the 1960s, Public Interest Law emerged as a way for the legal profession to deploy its expertise in service of the public.  Our guest Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation, says that it's time for the same ethic and commitment to emerge from the field of technology. In this episode we discuss how to make that happen and what it will look like practice when we create the structures for technologists to work in the public interest.
