ALICE HAS A BLUE CAR: BEGINNING THE CONVERSATION AROUND ETHICALLY AWARE DECISION MAKING

If ALICE’s car is blue, what CONVERSATIONS SHOULD YOU BE HAVING WITH YOUR PRODUCT, legal, UX, data storage, security, and software development teams? If you were developing an algorithm to price insurance risk, or implement a serverless storage solution, what technical guidelines should you consider for your organisation and yourself when building technical solutions?

Who we meet, what we choose to do, and the costs of our choices, are increasingly influenced and even driven by software systems, algorithms and infrastructure. The DECISIONS UNDERLYING HOW THOSE WORK ARE MADE BY PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU.

This talk challenges the audience to consider the ongoing implications of DECISIONS MADE EARLY IN THE DESIGN PROCESS, and provides practical examples of translating moral standpoints into real-world implementations.
