The Responsible Tech Coalition is an interdisciplinary organization of students who are committed to seeing that technology is ethical and accountable. Through collaborating with people from diverse industries and backgrounds, we will come together to emphasize the impact that technology can have on society. The coalition is dedicated to the advancement of dialogue, policy, and practice around responsible technology at UMass and society at large. We will start these difficult conversations by hosting events like speakers, book clubs, hackathons, and open forums which will in turn create a network within UMass that cares deeply about responsible applications of technology.
