What do we mean by ethics when we speak about technology? Applied Tech Ethics is a framework that approaches ethics from a human perspective and breaks it down to privacy, security, inclusivity, authenticity, behaviour modification, control and bias.
The question has shifted from ‘why’ ethics to ‘how’ ethics in technology. This session is an invitation for designers and developers to dive deeper into into the risks and opportunities that ‘inclusion’ implies - and share examples or real-life instances of difficult choices or uncomfortable decisions made while designing technology.
Takeaways: This will give you a language to discuss ethics and help you advocate better for the user.
The session will start with a brief overview of the Applied Tech Ethics framework. It would be preferable if the framework can be beamed up on the wall.
The context
The guiding questions for the discussion will be:
Any examples or instances of inclusion (or lack of it) or privacy that stood out, shocked you or made you uncomfortable.
