Hey everyone, it's Azaraskin and welcome to your undivided attention.

Today we're going to be doing something a little different, a kind of looking back to look forward.

And to do that, we've invited the co-founder for Center for Humane Technology, along with me and

Tristan, Randy Fernando,

for this special episode. And what we're going to be talking about is, well, really what we talk

about when we talk about humane technology. We're going to be exploring seven principles of

humane tech and the myths that they bust. So hey Randy, welcome to the show.

Glad to be here.

All right, Randy, so just really quickly, before we dive in, I think it's important that

people hear just a little bit about your background.

Why should we be listening to you in this moment?

I started my career at Invidia, which was the best place for me given my background in computer science and computer graphics.

I was a product manager for a bunch of different software products.

One of the interesting things I did was I also co-authored some books, and one of them was the first book on the first hardware shading language for the first programmable GPU,

which was sort of like early days in this path that has taken us to where we are today. I was also on the founding

board of directors of the Nvidia Foundation. And then I kind of got interested in the non-profit sector,

and so I ran a nonprofit called Mindful Schools that trained

kids in how to pay attention, how to manage their emotions, how to cultivate kindness.

And we trained nearly a million kids and 20,000 teachers while I was there. And since then,

we've been doing this work at CHT with you and Tristan for almost 10 years.

And I just want everyone to know because many people, of course, know Tristan's name and my name,

but they don't know Randy as much your name.
