Uncharted Territories

Uncharted Territories

Non-human bits of intelligence, decentralized organizations, virtual real estate. Climate emergencies, the shift of physical presence, and a general sense of uncertainty. All of this may sound mildly intimidating, but it is a cosmic chance for us designers to use our power. How can we shape less-boring yet sustainable futures? Are we at the end of human-centered design? Will machines ever take our creative jobs? This and many more unanswered questions in this organic breakfast opening talk.

A SuperPower to build a thriving future for people and planet

With humanity at the helm as the chief designer, we have for generations successfully engineered a very destructive and unjust world for living in. The current Global Pandemic most definitely heightened our awareness of thriving inequalities, and our disconnect across all levels of society, with nature and our immediate environments. But as an intelligent species, we are equally capable of designing the exact opposite if change is driven with wisdom instead. Join us for an insightful perspective of the world and explore why Creative Intelligence is a superpower to design a future where people and planet can thrive.

Don't track my life: People's attitudes toward privacy and data collection

We conducted a 1,010 person survey of U.S. participants to assess consumer knowledge about privacy and data collection in current and emerging tech. The research captured discomfort and examples of how some existing data practices feel like privacy violations. Some respondents distrust data defaults and desire a higher standard of privacy protections. And almost all respondents have adopted at least one privacy service. Come learn more about people's attitudes and motivations for privacy, and what product creators need to know about consent.
