Cennydd Bowles: What could go wrong?
After a range of embarrassing and sometimes dangerous slip-ups, technology companies have been quick to defend themselves. These impacts werent intentional, they argue: they were mere unforeseen side-effects of innovation. Perhaps. But technologists werent exactly looking too hard. The industrys resolute faith in progress has meant the few voices of internal dissent have often gone unheeded. Now a dramatic AI leap forward poses even greater opportunities and dangers. Can designers and technologists anticipate the social and ethical impacts of their work before they occur? And are we ready for what they might find?
Cennydd Bowles is a technology ethicist and interaction designer, author of Future Ethics, and a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Elon University, North Carolina. Cennydds views on the ethics of emerging technology and design have been quoted by Forbes, WIRED, and The Wall Street Journal, and he has spoken on responsible innovation at Facebook, Stanford University, and Google.
This event is free and open to the public. Seating will be limited. Free registration required.
This event is sponsored by the University of Washington's School of Art + Art History + Design, French and Italian Studies and Textual Studies, Information School, and the Simpson Center for the Humanities.
