Forces Shaping AI You Might Not Realize
Learn about many of the drivers changing the landscape of AI, from an academically trained futurist and engineering leader. We all want to know what comes next, and we can learn a lot from looking across the broader world about the possibilities. I'll share details from my research into these forces, including some unexpected ones.
You might work in AI, or be interested in understanding how AI will impact you. Armed with this information, you can ensure your strategies aren't missing some key details. By being aware of trends you can help shape your part of the world towards a preferred future.
I'll also cover a bit about how to incorporate strategic foresight into your practices so you can leverage uncertainty in a positive way to anticipate change.
Design and Developing for Privacy
Every day we are tracked and traced digitally in ways that violate our privacy,. It doesn't have to be this way, and in many ways the front end development community is in the best position to make changes to end these practices. While we might like to blame others, such as product managers who force us to add third party tracking or executives who demand that we collect and monetize as much data as possible, front end development is often the place where it all starts.
In this session, we'll talk about concepts and technical approaches that can be applied to how you build applications and websites that respect privacy. In fact, privacy should be the default. We'll even talk about flipping the conversation about privacy with stakeholders, because if we don't push back things will not change.
You'll walk away with a renewed sense of responsibility and ideas to help empower you to enact change in your organization and with your stakeholders.
