Event role
Keynote speaker
Keynote
'Critical engagement with technology'
Technology is increasingly facilitating most human relationships and taking over spaces that were previously regulated by institutions, traditions, and humans. In that context what is the responsability of the people desiging technology? How can we start understanding the opportunities and risks in a thoughtful and responsible way?
Data becomes a central element in the design of services and products, as it both tracks behaviour but also train machine learning algorithms. But what role does that invisible layer play? And what is happening to what we previously thought to be human?
Rosana's talk will cover some of the ethical concerns and offer ways to critically engage with the current use of technology in services. It will also showcase some of the current approaches to do better and shape the field ethically.
