Introducing the Responsible Technology Workforce Series: Understanding a Field in Transition
The idea that technology should, and must, serve human values has never been more urgent — or more elusive. As AI systems shape hiring decisions, social media platforms influence democratic discourse, and algorithmic systems determine access to essential services, an emergent workforce has emerged to bridge the gap between technological capability and human flourishing.
If you're in the ATIH community, you probably know this work -- what it is, what it lacks, and what it could be, intimately.
But in this pivotal moment, we need to better understand where this workforce has come out of, what it has been, where it's failed and succeeded, and where it's going. That's why we've developed the Responsible Technology Workforce Status Report at All Tech Is Human. This series builds on:
Analysis of over 5,700 job postings
Interviews with key practitioners and critics across the ecosystem
Insights from this community
As a whole, these reports will offer the first comprehensive real-time mapping of how ethical, responsible, and public interest technology roles have evolved—and where they're headed.

The Path Forward for Responsible Tech
The path forward lies not in predicting the future, but in actively shaping it through strategic action, coalition building, and unwavering commitment to responsible technology development that serves human values and protects user interests, regardless of the regulatory environment.
