And so we make embarrassing blunders – racist c hatbots\, manipulative research\, privacy violations – that undermine tr ust and harm those we should help. \;\n \;\nThis is a dangerous tr ajectory. We urgently need a deeper ethical dialogue about emerging tech nology\, and interaction design's role within it. This session\, informe d by many months of ongoing research\, will discuss: \;\n \;\n-Why companies make poor ethical decisions\, \;\n-The development of ethi cal thinking in other morally-charged disciplines\, \;\n-Methods of e ngaging users in the ethics of emerging technology\, \;\n-Ways for de signers to engage positively and affect ethical outcomes\, so that desig n decisions benefit not only ourselves but our wider communities and the world at large. \;\n \;\nAbout The Speaker \;\nCennydd Bowles' (@Cennydd) is a London-based designer and writer with fifteen years of experience advising clients including Twitter\, Ford\, Cisco\, and the B BC.
