Randy Fernando's Company Details
Together with our partners, the Center for Humane Technology (CHT) is dedicated to radically reimagining our digital infrastructure. Our mission is to drive a comprehensive shift toward humane technology that supports our well-being, democracy, and shared information environment.From the dinner table to the corner office to the halls of government, our work mobilizes millions of advocates, technologists, business leaders, and policymakers through media campaigns, working groups, and high-level briefings.Our journey began in 2013 when Tristan Harris, then a Google Design Ethicist, created the viral presentation, "A Call to Minimize Distraction & Respect Users' Attention." The presentation, followed by two TED talks and a 60 Minutes interview, sparked the Time Well Spent movement and laid the groundwork for the founding of the Center for Humane Technology (CHT) as an independent 501c3 nonprofit in 2018.CHT was thrilled to support the development and release of the record-shattering Netflix documentary 'The Social Dilemma' from director Jeff Orlowski on the existential threats posed by social media, reaching an estimated 100 million people.
