Title:
Cennydd Bowles: What could go wrong? <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://simpsoncenter.org/events/event-detail?trumbaEmbed=view*3Devent*26eventid*3D174616707&eventid=174616707__;JSUl!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!m8lZj38kdmDNIVRIPCmT0kX9cK91hHZhNY5ExDG57skEc-K-qbT2uGuzokZeVotEkVD1QIIQHlqpvYs$>
 
Description:
Technology ethicist and interaction designer, Cennydd Bowles, comes to the University of Washington for a guest lecture. 
After a range of embarrassing and sometimes dangerous slip-ups, technology companies have been quick to defend themselves. These impacts weren’t intentional, they argue: they were mere unforeseen side-effects of innovation. Perhaps. But technologists weren’t exactly looking too hard. The industry's 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?
