Lately, tech CEOs have waded into politics during their conference keynote addresses. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella didn't mention any current events when he took the stage Wednesday morning in Seattle, but he did wax poetic about the responsibilities of technology.

Developers and companies should also be accountable for the algorithms and programs they create, said Nadella.
