AI & The Future of Privacy

SEE EVENT DETAILS
3 Nights After Work  •  6:00PM - 9:00PM 

-----

Join us for this 3-night after work series to learn how to create respectful, accessible, and secure experiences for the technology of the future. We've been meeting with AI and hardware developers, security experts, hackers, and designers to put together a program teaching you about:




How AI improves when we have more data

The tradeoffs between privacy and more data
Machine learing and the possibility of learning on less data
Dark patterns
Ethics and empathy

 




Day 1: Robots



(TBA)
 

Day 2: Internet of Things
"Designing Smart Things:  Balancing Ethics & Choice" with Gretchen Anderson, Head of Design at PG&E
 
The design community has gotten very skilled at crafting UIs, whether on a screen, through voice technology, or even via gestures, even as products like the Nest thermostat, the software running wind turbines, and autonomous cars are increasingly automating choices to simplify their use for people. While data scientists and AI experts are becoming more adept at delivering these algorithms, there hasn’t been enough discussion about their impact on design practice. As the technology we use becomes more intelligent, empowered, and automated, how will we designers need to evolve our practice? And how do we, as stewards of user needs and rights, ensure that the algorithms people use actually reflect the moral and ethical choices we might make as humans? Is that even the goal? Gretchen Anderson explores the challenges we face when designing the user experiences of the complex behavioral agents that increasingly run our lives.You’ll learn how to:  

Understand current thinking by the AI community on ethics and morality in computing and the challenges it presents
Explore examples of the ethical choices that products make now and will make in the near future
Learn how designers might approach designing experiences that face moral dilemmas


"How to Not Get Hacked"
with John Adams, Cybersecurity Engineer + Hacktivist
John Adams, former Twitter Security lead, will teach us how to protect our onlne identities and personal information in the world of online surveillance, data mining and hacking.
