Finding Ethical Design in Unethical Products

Every year, the ethics of User Experience design becomes more complicated. Targeted advertising, machine learning, and dark UX have led to all of us questioning if our work continues to be ethical and honest.

As a valued employee of gambling conglomerate Tabcorp, UX Designer Chris Harrison will explore the ramifications of working on products that sit within an ethical grey area. What are our responsibilities to our users when designing a gambling product? What about a stock exchange for defaulted mortgages? What about buying a kidney on the black market? Okay, maybe not that last one.

Let's have an open, honest, and fun chat about how we can all find our ethical happy place by staying true to our company, our customers, and our brand. Let's have our UX cake and eat it.
