Aarathi Krishnan

Aarathi Krishnan addressed one of the most pressing challenges in modern humanitarian work when she spoke at TED 2021 about the ethical principles needed for digitizing humanitarian aid. Her presentation focused on establishing a framework for responsible technology implementation in crisis response and aid distribution.

As digital transformation reshapes how humanitarian organizations deliver assistance, Krishnan's work addresses critical questions about privacy, equity, and accountability in technology-driven aid programs. Her five ethical principles provide guidance for organizations navigating the complex intersection of technology and human welfare, ensuring that digital solutions enhance rather than compromise the dignity and rights of aid recipients.
