About Tristan Harris
Designer Tristan Harris has been called "the closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience," by The Atlantic magazine. He has spent a decade understanding the invisible influences that hijack human thinking and action — including what has been coined "the attention economy": technology companies caught in a zero-sum race for our finite attention.
After working as a design ethicist at Google, Tristan left to work full-time on reforming the attention economy with the non-profit initiative, Time Well Spent. He now runs the Center for Humane Technology, which aims to push for more ethical technology.
