Ethics, Society, & Technology Initiatives
The McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society is home to various programs and initiatives that explore the ethical and social dimensions of technology. We strongly believe that Stanford has a special responsibility to address these topics in light of its role as a seedbed of Silicon Valley, and the Center has long championed inquiry at the intersection of technology and human values.
