A look at the near future ecosystem for data and trust. What are the new type of challenges for designers, how do you prepare for these challenges and how does it benefit both sides?
All will be explored in a keynote which will give plenty to take away and explore.

4. The existing reality

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing
model obsolete."
- Buckminster Fuller

Would/could you sign the hippocratic oath?
■ to take responsibility for what I create.
■ to only help create things I would want my loved ones to use.
■ to pause to consider all consequences of my work, intended as well as unintended.
■ to invite and act on criticism, even when it is painful.
■ to ask for help when I am uncertain if my work serves my community.
■ to always put humans before business, and to stand up against pressure to do otherwise, even at my own
risk.
■ to never tolerate design for addiction, deception or control.
■ to help others understand and discuss the power and challenges of technology
■ to participate in the democratic process of regulating technology, even though it is difficult.
■ to fight for democracy and human rights, and to improve the institutions that protect them.
■ to work towards a more equal, inclusive and sustainable future for us all, following the United Nations global
goals.
■ to always take care of what I start, and to fix what we break.

42. The databox project
Databox has its origins in an emerging school of thought
called ‘Human Data Interaction’ which sees personal data
as an object in its own right rather than a by-product of our
mundane interactions with third parties, systems and
services

Human Data Interaction
Legibility – the process of understanding and making data and
analytics algorithms both transparent and comprehensible to
people, which refer to data and processing
Agency – the power of handling data and to systems that
process data to give people the capacity to control, inform, and
correct data and inferences
Negotiability – the dynamic relationship that emerge regarding
data and how the individual understanding and attitudes change
over time.
44. Best practice design principles for privacy
@cubicgarden | https://blog.xot.nl/2012/09/10/eight-privacy-design-strategies/ | http://www.cs.ru.nl/~jhh/publications/pdp.pdf
1. Minimise: The amount of personal information that is processed should be minimal.
2. Hide: Any personal information that is processed should be hidden from plain view
3. Separate: The processing of personal information should be done in a distributed fashion whenever
possible
4. Aggregate: Personal information should be processed at the highest level of aggregation and with the
least possible detail in which it is (still) useful.
5. Inform: Data subjects should be adequately informed whenever personal information is processed
6. Control: Data subjects should have agency over the processing of their personal information
7. Enforce: A privacy policy compatible with legal requirements should be in place and should be
enforced
8. Demonstrate: Demonstrate compliance with the privacy policy and any applicable legal requirements.

49. Removing friction
The dominant school of thought when it comes to UI design in tech, at least
that Iatest grown up with the past two decades, has centered around
removing friction for users in accomplishing whatever it is they’re trying to do
while delighting them in the process. The goal has been design that is
elegant, in every sense of the word: intuitive, ingenious, even stylish…
Perhaps no company has more embodied this school of design than Apple.

50. Closed ecosystem of control?
At its best, Apple makes hardware and software that is pleasingly elegant, it
just works. but also sexy in a way that makes its users feel tasteful.
Apple’s infamous controlling style, no replaceable batteries for its phones and
laptops, the current debate over its App Store rules.

65. Decentralised encryption woes
@cubicgarden | https://cubicgarden.com/2020/07/24/signals-catch-22-problem/
“I get that not revealing my pin to me is a security thing but to be honest, it
seems daft that I can’t even reset that pin using other means. For example,
Signal already texts me a confirmation number when I try to sign in –
surely this is enough to know that I’m the owner of the phone? They also
have my email address.”
If I really can’t reset my account, I would be more than happy to delete the
current account and start over again. But until there’s a way for me to do
this without entering the app in the first place, I’m stuck in limbo”

91. Summary of points
@cubicgarden
1. Look to the future: Drive the change users need/want/demand
2. Negotiation & trust: Is important, the industry is in a bad place right now
3. Decentralisation: Is already here it’s not evenly distributed
4. Privacy is a right: Think so? Make it so!
5. Enable not allow: What will this enable the user(s) to do?
6. Think human values: Does it enable a core human value?
7. How do we enable everybody: Not just the privileged who can pay
8. Don’t be a bystander: The industry has too many of those right now
