About

The Center for Humane Technology (CHT) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that seeks to transform digital ecosystems so they serve human well-being, democratic values, and transparent information flows. Founded in 2018 by former Google design ethicist Tristan Harris after his viral "A Call to Minimize Distraction" presentation, CHT mobilizes technologists, business leaders, policymakers and the public through media campaigns, working groups and high-level briefings. Its work spans the ethical design of social media, AI and chatbots, attention management, and the mitigation of polarization and mental health harms. By combining research, advocacy and policy engagement, CHT distinguishes itself as a leading voice in humane tech, bridging academia, industry and government to shape the next generation of digital products.
