Abstract

The technology industry is having a “moment.”

At a recent workshop for ethics officers from various major companies, such words as “data extraction” and “exploitation” were used to describe business practices that were damaging and had to stop, while ideas such as respecting communities, building trustworthy relationships, and ongoing dialogue were emphasized so that technology companies could learn from those people affected by their technologies and stop harming them.1

The parallels to the ethics described in Decolonizing Methodologies and Decolonizing Research were remarkable. If the books were distilled to a few practical phrases relevant for technology companies, these would be among them.

But what is this connection, and why has it appeared now?
