Making Tech More Human: Gary Shapiro's Vision for Innovation That Uplifts Society

In today’s episode Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, shares his vision for ensuring tech innovation creates positive human impact. Shapiro emphasizes the ultimate goal should be uplifting humanity across areas like healthcare, food, and the environment.

He cites the revamped "human-centric" CES branding as symbolic of making innovation more focused on human needs and benefits. Shapiro unpacks major CES 2025 focus areas like sustainability and energy creation; so critical as energy-intensive technologies like AI and electric vehicles grow.

He stresses the importance of fostering open collaboration to tackle immense societal challenges. Throughout, Shapiro makes a passionate case that the tech community must keep the human dimension front and center, driving innovation that improves core human securities worldwide. Tune in for his insights on making tech more "human."


Also on the show we look ahead to tomorrow’s US Presidential Election with a spotlight on a new app helping to keep voters informed about their choices in the ballot-box. This is thanks to the wonderful writing by Dominic-Madori Davis in TechCrunch: https://tcrn.ch/40z8yno
