Sobhi Khatib

Sobhi Khatib has over 16 years of experience in communications, strategy and human rights. He leads a project at Amsterdam University of Applied Science about systems and public values. Sobhi worked with over 70 organisations, such as Netflix, United Nations, Amnesty International and Greenpeace. Throughout his work he saw the power of technology to make a difference. Seeing the political and social changes in the world affected by technology, he believes that programmers, or the ones briefing them, are the people designing the future. Unfortunately, those designers of the future don’t get any ethical education. Sobhi believes we need to inform programmers and developers about biases and strengthen values like transparency, privacy and democracy to create a better future based on human rights.
