Ethics and Design: A Practical Guide

Ethics are important. In this talk, we’ll share the difference between nudges, mandates, coercions and manipulations. We will learn about behavioral science methods and techniques that inform unethical tactics, a formula to calculate how ethical your products and services are, and more. Guthrie Weinschenk will be discussing new ways to think about the intersection between ethics and technology.

Guthrie Weinschenk is a Behavioral Economist and the COO of The Team W, Inc. He has a degree in Economics, a law degree, and is a licensed attorney. He consults, teaches, and specializes in business strategy, behavioral economics, and ethics. He is the host of the podcast Human Tech and author of I Love You, Now Read This Book.

Our event is part of the global conversation about Ethics, Equity + Responsibility for World Interaction Design Day.
