Designing Against a Data Dystopia | Online

About this event

Yes, it feels like a dystopia right now.

Including how our personal data is treated. Palantir has developed “predictive policing,” deployed in New Orleans. Your Roomba is mapping the layout of your home without you knowing it. AT&T is selling your web browsing history associated with your real name and address.

How can we use these dystopias as inputs into our own product building process? Yes, we can use dystopia as a tool. Dystopia helps us imagine futures we don’t want to create and by reversal, the ones we truly do.
