This webinar was hosted by NetGain Partnership, a philanthropic collaboration seeking to advance the public interest in the digital age. As part of this work, the Partnership has been exploring efforts to engage tech funders and investors in ensuring existing and emerging technologies uphold human rights and better serve the public interest.
This conversation presented the Tech Accountability Criteria Set, developed by Whistle Stop Capital. These criteria were developed after review of 90+ frameworks, guidance documents, and protocols related to governance, human rights, and privacy along with conversations with over 50 experts in tech accountability and human rights issues.
The criteria’s focus is on governance systems that encourage tech accountability alongside companies’ privacy practices. These criteria are being mapped to the financial performance of 300 public tech development and use companies to identify idiosyncratic and systemic risk implications for investors.
