Broken Tech Broken Earth

Jeremy Johnson has more than 25 years working at Arm in Cambridge. He has built a career as a software engineering leader, contributing to the development of technologies that have shaped modern computing, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence.

He has played a leading role in defining Arm’s ethical AI by design process, developing compliance testing for the Tensor Operator Set Architecture (TOSA), and delivering engineering improvements that have enhanced software quality and efficiency across the organisation.

Beyond his professional career, he volunteers for the Broken Tech, Broken Earth project at the Centre for Computing History. Recalling his favourite experience he shared “I remember helping design a guessing game which discussed the CO2 impacts of tech inspired by the book ‘How Bad are Bananas?’ by Mike Berners-Lee. I had such a great time speaking to visitors about tech sustainability!”

This story was shared by a volunteer as part of the Broken Tech, Broken Earth project which aims to co-create events with the local community about the social, historical and environmental impacts of technology. This project is externally funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund as part of the Museum Association. The project is led by the Centre for Computing History, which is a registered educational charity and independent museum located in Cambridge. Our mission is to use our collections, displays, learning programmes, and events to engage the public with the developments in computing over the past 80 years.
