What we welcome
Pieces that help readers understand what a technology, an algorithm, or a machine means for human dignity and flourishing. Commentary on current events is especially welcome. So are reflections from your field, your work, or your own experience.
We value clear writing, careful reasoning, and fairness to people who see things differently. You do not need an academic appointment to contribute.
