Researchers

Identifying the source of harms caused by evolving technologies is a critical first step on this mission. This research, often conducted at colleges and universities, is very important as it serves to provide scientific process rather than guesswork to determine the cause of these harms. Some research will involve analyzing data sets from existing studies. Some may require novel animal and human subject experiments. While this research is costly, it is very valuable. Knowing the cause will inform new product development to counter those risks. It will also help technologists consider the risks of new technologies, not just on children, but on mankind.
