Dear Human, the future needs you!
The social, economic and political impact of technology over the last decade has resulted in a number of cascading consequences that have been devastating at worst and cringe-worthy at best. While ethical principles and frameworks have been helpful, many practitioners have found them really difficult to 'action' in order to improve design outcomes and the overall human experience. This talk takes aim at confusion and uncertainty by providing practical guidance and examples of how to implement ethics in the creation and design of technology.

Make Space for Ethics

Ask yourself the hard questions: 

Lisa would love to : Create an ethics hotline for the technology industry

Q: How do you sell an ethics perspective to leaders?

A: Tech if you do not think about its implementation it will explode and ethics is a way to de-risk negative impacts on share value, reputation and market share.

Q: Is cultural relativism a factor to consider?

A: How do you define a good life and 'the good' - this differs across cultures and teams.  Lots of different nuance across different places in the world.
