The Center for Applied Values and Ethics in Advancing Technologies, housed at Crown College, is a public-private collaboration comprised of scholars from multiple disciplines, community and civic group members, policy influencers, technology influencers and innovators, and other stakeholders that will develop a set of initiatives and programs that, together, provide a venue and resource for promoting applied ethics and values in emerging technological ecosystems in ways that shape a healthier democracy, cultivate social and economic opportunities for equality and equity, and foster a more just and viable future.
