Tristan Harris

Tristan Harris has emerged as a leading voice examining how technology companies influence human behavior and decision-making on a global scale. His work focuses on the mechanisms through which a small number of tech companies shape the thoughts and actions of billions of users daily, exploring both the challenges and opportunities this presents for society.

Harris addresses critical questions about our relationship with technology, particularly how better technological design could help protect users from distraction and manipulation. His recent focus has expanded to artificial intelligence, where he frames AI as both humanity's greatest test and most significant opportunity.

Through his presentations at major conferences including TED and DLD, he advocates for more ethical approaches to technology development that prioritize human wellbeing over engagement metrics and profit maximization.
