Joe Toscano is an award-winning designer, published author, and international keynote speaker. In this episode of Relate, we discuss the Internet as the collective conscious of the world, how user research is psychological research, the human issues present in technological design, and topics around data.

Joe Toscano is an award-winning designer, published author, and international keynote speaker who previously consulted for Google in Mountain View, CA. Joe left because he didn't believe in the way the industry treated society and felt the issues needed to be addressed through innovation from the outside. He has since written a book, called Automating Humanity, and started the Better Ethics and Consumer Outcomes Network (BEACON), both of which are focused on increasing technology literacy, discovering opportunities for purpose-driven innovation, and moving communities forward in the age of automation.

Outside of BEACON Joe also writes for Forbes, is a member of the World Economic Forum's Steering Committee for Data Protection, and is featured in The Social Dilemma. Watch his TEDx Talk, “Want to work for Google? You already do,” for a quick summary.
