Design Sprint: Reimagining the UX Patterns to address AI & Surveillance Capitalism harms

Simply Secure and the broader Human Rights Centered Design (HRCD) Community would like to host a workshop / design sprint where we invite participants to workshop UX and design ideas in response to the everyday harms caused by AI and surveillance capitalism on internet platforms. At the workshop, participants will have the option of working alone or in groups on a variety of issue areas, e.g. consent, transparency, remediation experiences (e.g. in response to content moderation or online harassment issues) and many more! The session will be very generative with the goal being to create a final collaborative output of ideas to challenge the norms around current user experience patterns.


How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

The workshop format will be very scaleable given that we can have an expandable/flexible group of topics and subject areas within the topic area.

What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:

Simply Secure and the broader Human Rights Centered Design (HRCD) Community would like to host a workshop / design sprint where we invite participants to workshop UX and design ideas in response to the everyday harms caused by AI and surveillance capitalism on internet platforms.

The goal of the session is to generate ideas that can respond and shift the status quo of the platforms that we use everyday. All of the ideas generated from the workshop will be published as a resource to share with the broader ecosystem.

We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

Participants at the session will be invited to join the Simply Secure slack, HRCD mailing list, and HRCD slack channel in the Simply Secure slack, so that they can stay engaged as a community and get access to the peer network, resources and knowledge from the community.
