Founded in 2020, RAISO's mission is to pull down the curtain on the technologies and complicated algorithms that have come to rule our world.
Technology is embedding further into our lives, and is becoming harder to control and understand. This had led to unintended consequences, including the exacerbation of racial and social bases that exist today, and have existed in the past.
We believe that those most affected by CTech should strive to learn the most, and ultimately, have the loudest voice. Joining this community puts you in the right place to learn what you need to learn, and how to stay engaged as the world becomes more automated.
