"... It goes beyond designing technology for good, asking and answering: “Good for whom?” Public interest technologists center people, not innovation for its own sake.

They focus on those most affected by new innovations: the historically marginalized groups who have experienced the most harms or the uneven benefits of technology.

At the same time, public interest technologists understand that technology is not, and never has been, neutral."
