What is Conscious Tech?
"Conscious Tech" has a two-fold meaning:
1. Technology that expands consciousness, on an individual or collective level, towards mindful loving compassion, and flourishing. (e.g. mental health tech, tech for caring, tech for spiritual awakening & wisdom).
2. Technology that are crafted with conscious intent and process and a truly life-centric orientation, minding the complex systemic dynamics that a product and service reside in. (e.g. calm tech, ambient computing, natural gesture interfaces)
What is CTC? We are a multidisciplinary group of innovators from backgrounds such as neuroscience, engineering, brain-computer interface (BCI), human-comuter interaction design (HCI), psychotherapy, arts, plant medicine, somatic healing, and other ancient wisdom practices. We come from academic, industry, and startup contexts and gather weekly in person in San Francisco, and go on excursions to other parts of the world.
Together, we explore shared concerns and curiosities about the impact of a new wave of emerging technologies on human well-being: from AI to next-gen BCI and biosensors, and more. We aim to channel technology's power to heal our connections to Self, Each other, and the Planet.
We advocate for the ethical research, design, and development of well-being-focused products and services - enabled by emerging technology. We also advocate for systems change - positive futures where Technology and Capital support human and planetary flourishing. Not the other way around. We want to contribute to an economy that's regenerative, life-sustaining, and positive-sum, not extractive.
Our 4 pillars of action are:
1. Community Building
2. Translational Research
3. Innovator Support
4. Product Incubation
