World Usability Day 2018: Design for Good or Evil - Ethics in Design

Details
Please RSVP on Eventbrite: https://goo.gl/9sVQ3M
________

We've united with Amsterdam UX for celebrating World Usability Day 2018.
What makes design good or bad? How can we design products and services that are not only user-friendly and useful but also cater to human values? How can we make choices supporting ethical standards that mitigate unintended consequences or misuse of our products and services?
We have invited four speakers that have been working on answering these questions. We have asked them to share their application of ethical considerations and human values in their practice.

TALKS
#Thinking in Dilemmas by Deger Ozkaramanli
Deger will make the case for the need to structurally examine the dilemmas evoked by the things we design (and how we design them) as a means to critically reflect on the emotional, social, and ethical implications of our design practices.

# Designing Augmented Reality Experiences: Privacy & Data by Anne Marleen Olthof
The output of the futural world such as Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality is behavioural data, biometric data, genetic data and up to this point we hardly know the intended outcome for us personally and for society as a whole. Anne's talk is about the intersection of VR/AR/MR and Privacy by Design and issues it might raise.

# “Oops!" a.k.a Risk Analysis for user interfaces by Beant Dhillon
Years ago, Hannah Arendt talked about the banality of evil and of havoc wrecked by those who were just following orders. And given the growing influence of technology in our lives, companies and we in the UX world need to think beyond 'orders' and 'assignments' and look at the impact of the things we design for our users.

#Daily Ethical Design by Lennart Overkamp
