I see it in the broader category of Safety by Design (SbD), as meant by the Australian initiative to create more fair, ethical, transparent, and inclusive technology.
It’s no longer enough to create products that are secure and protect privacy.

And I’m reminded of the study that found play-based preschools turned out kids with better social skills than academic preschools. That difference never narrowed, but the play-based kids caught up academically.
