  2. Excited to share that I am one of 31 contributors to "Digital Inclusion in an Unequal World" by @TimUnwin

    It was a privilege to be part of such a unique and diverse team, writing about digital colonialism and surveillance capitalism and how to counter these challenges.

  9. Sanja is heavily invested in AI/AGI safety and ethical, inclusive software engineering, the Digital Humanism Conference #DigHum2025 truly delivered!
    I went in with curiosity and came out with not one, but two notebooks full of notes, quotes, and ideas. From AI and platform power to democracy and digital rights, the discussions were as rich as they were urgent.

    I tried to capture some highlights, reflections, and memorable moments in this blog post for ICT4D.at:

    👉 ict4d.at/2025/06/digital-human

    There was so much more than I could fit into one post – but if you were there (or just curious about DigitalHumanism), I’d love to hear what resonated with you.

  10. My favorite place to post about #hackathons with a charitable or "for good" focus, #hacks4good, #apps4good, community tech centers, #ICT4D, ethics regarding such, & all things #Tech4Good went away.
    So I started the r/Tech4Causes subreddit.
    Needs more content!
