Motivation
Dear Tech Company is a collaborative video response to IBM's Dear Tech Ad .
"The [IBM] commercial depicts big challenges—biases of both AI and humans, misunderstandings between people, data rights, poverty, and male-dominated STEM fields—as issues for technology itself to fix. This idealized and reified narrative loses sight of two fundamental things: Tech companies are creating some of the key problems here, and ethically minded tech workers should be commended for their attempts at finding solutions."
