1. IxDA Berlin:
Design ethics as inspiration
Charlie Mulholland - 6 February 2012
Amsterdam University of Applied Science
Department of Communication & Multimedia Design
2. Outline
• A bit about my background
• The basic premise of this talk
• Ethics and IxD: problem or opportunity?
• Some ethical tools that can be used for
inspiration
3.
4. My basic premise
In the coming years,
IxD’ers are likely to
come under increasing
pressure to take (at
least some)
responsibility for the
moral issues raised by
the products they
design

about their privacy…

opportunity?

22. Thinking about ethics adds more
complexity of the design process

23. However, there is another less
cynical, but realistic approach
• Embrace ethics as a
source of inspiration
for:
– Research, sensemaking
& reframing
– Ideation
– Definition of
requirements
– Selection & road
mapping
– Detailed design
24. Some ethical tools that can be
used for inspiration
(as well as for assessing the impact of
your work!)

Since we started to develop an use technology, it has affected how we experience the world. The way we experience of the world affects what we think can be and our choices. Peter Paul Verbeek has proposed that technology mediates our perceptions & our actions
Don Idhe has proposed that technology mediates our experience of the world in four ways – he calls these phenomenological relations. These relations affect how we experience the world all the time - as humans we do not experience the world without technology, it shapes our understanding of the world, it allows us to interpret the world and affects our reactions. We understand the world and the possibilities we have in that world via technology. We are technological beings (it almost does not make sense to try to separate us from our technology)
Peter Paul Verbeek suggests that mediates perception & praxis
Peter Paul Verbeek suggests that mediates perception & praxis
This mediation means we understand the world via technology which shapes our idea of what is possible and what is not and so affects our choices.
The technology of weather forecasting allows us to take an umbrella when it’s going to rain – this is not really a problem
Ultrasound and other technologies related to pregnancy have presented us with ethical dilemmas that we did not have before. These are often unintended consequences. Peter Paul Verbeek suggest that engineers and designers should (be trained to) think about how their creations might offer these new choices so as to anticipate possible ethical issues. But sometimes this influence is deliberate…
Facebook often tries to deliberately influence our behaviour in ways that are beneficial to them but not necessarily for us (my opinion)
