These technologies include the internet, telephones, radio and television, artificial intelligence, social media algorithms, and even the sounds of the natural world.

Every time you order a meal, obtain directions, query an AI chatbot, or access your child’s virtual classroom, you’re interacting with a multi-sided digital platform—and you trade in more than just time or money. You relinquish data. You perform unpaid labor. And in nearly every case, that data, along with the profits, leaves your community and flows to distant companies with no stake in your local economy. But what if the digital economy worked differently—what if it respected privacy, strengthened local economies, and ensured communities benefited from the value they help create?
No Harm Done continues its exploration of ethical, sustainable pathways for technology with its second installment focusing on the critical intersection of risk, technology, and climate. This event brings together three leading voices who are reshaping how we understand and respond to technological systems and their impacts on our communities and environment.
