Hi, I'm Dr. Dédé Tetsubayashi: social scientist, responsible AI executive, disability advocate, and systems disruptor.

"Do Better with Dr. Dédé" is a community for:
[ul][li]People building technology[li]People funding, shaping, or governing technology[li]And all of the people living with the consequences of how those systems are designed

In my TEDx talk, [“You’ve Been Coded Out"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSQuZG_DHVY), I name a hard truth: Bias and harm in technology aren’t accidents, they’re the result of design choices, power dynamics, and who gets excluded from the room where such decisions are made.

As generative technology accelerates, we all face a choice to continue to build from extractive models where our communities are mined for data, labor, and culture without accountability. Or, we can build from a collaborative foundation—rooted in shared responsibility, transparency, and care from the point of inception. This space exists to support the second path.

Let's do better, together.
-Dr. Dédé
