Ruling Principles and Code of Conduct
The Calgary UX is a community that aims to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees. We expect all participants to follow our ruling principles and code of conduct to achieve this.
Our ruling principles
Step 1: Build trust, and be kind.
Develop connections based on personal and professional trust. Kindness is at the core of every interaction.
Step 2: Create creative spaces
Create and maintain a safe space for deep-focused conversations, creative confidence and experimentation.
Step 3: Active collaboration
Perform short-term action plans with precise results in mind. We are all volunteers, be very transparent about how much time and energy you are willing and capable of committing.
These principles include building trust, creating a safe space for creative conversations and collaboration, and actively working together to achieve specific goals.
All participants must be considerate, respectful, and collaborative and refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour. Anyone who witnesses or experiences unacceptable behaviour should alert Calgary UX staff as soon as possible.
Any reports will be kept confidential, and Calgary UX staff will take appropriate action to ensure everyone feels safe. This code of conduct also applies to online interactions and social media. Calgary UX reserves the right to investigate and address incidents that violate these principles, even if they occur outside of Calgary UX events or if legal proceedings are pending.
Our common goal is to preserve our guiding principles and create a positive experience for everyone.

Humans in the Loop - UX + Gen AI Conversations
·OnlineOnlineA Monthly Community Series by Calgary UX
How do UX designers stay human-centred in an AI-powered world?

Adam Delgado
Founder/ CEO at Stealth
Adam is currently the Founder/CEO of a stealth tech AI startup in Calgary and spent 17 yrs working for tech recruitment agencies.
Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamdelgado/From creative workflows to ethical questions, each session invites designers of all levels to share ideas, test tools, and shape the future of design—together.
Whether you're experimenting with prompts, integrating AI into your prototyping, or just AI-curious—this space is for you.### What to Expect:
- Show & Tell: Real stories from local designers using Gen AI in their work
- AI Playgrounds: Exploration of tools like ChatGPT, Figma Make, Midjourney, ConfyUI, etc.
- Open Discussions: Ethics, creativity, automation, and how AI is reshaping UX work
- Community Connections: Learn from peers and build lasting relationships
### Topics We Will Not Cover
While we encourage exploration and discussion, this series will not focus on:
- AI development from a purely engineering or ML model perspective
- Hype-based or uncritical promotion of AI tools
- “Growth hacks” or deceptive UX tactics powered by AI
- Uses of AI that prioritize automation over human well-being
- Corporate AI sales pitches or sponsored tool demos (unless transparently disclosed)
### Unethical Uses of Gen AI We Actively Discourage
We aim to create a responsible design culture. These uses will be critically examined and not promoted:
- Designing deceptive interfaces (dark patterns) powered by AI
- Using AI-generated data or personas without consent or context
- Automating emotional manipulation (e.g., fake empathy in chatbots)
- Generating content that disrespects intellectual property or plagiarizes
- Replacing inclusive design or accessibility efforts with generic AI outputs
- Deploying AI tools that reinforce bias, discrimination, or inequity
- Misrepresenting AI-generated work as fully human-created
- Using Gen AI to replace human roles without ethical consideration of impact
