Technology Ethicists

Tips for Entry

Read the IEEE's Technology and Society magazine to learn more about technology and artificial intelligence developments and technology ethics news: https://technologyandsociety.org.

An internship or part-time job at a technology or AI company with an ethics department is a great way to learn more about the technology ethics field while gaining practical work experience.

Become a member of the IEEE's Society on Social Implications of Technology to participate in a diverse community interested in the impact of technology on individuals and society. Student memberships are also offered: https://technologyandsociety.org/join-ssit.

Interview a technology ethicist to find out how they got started in their career, what their education background is, and what advice they have for students interested in this type of work. Ask your school's career services office for help with securing an interview and be sure to create a list of questions in advance.
