Ethical Design in UX
Please join us for our next seminar this Thursday. All are welcome.
When: Thursday 5 November 2020, 13:00-14:00
Speaker: Sarah Aylmer (Discovery)
Abstract: When is the line of making decisions that serve the interests of the system over that of the customer crossed, and what is our responsibility as product designers and human beings to do about it? This talk will cover topical subjects such as dark patterns, the power of persuasion, the social dilemma and building trust into the very fabric of the products we're designing for.
