Going to War Over UX
Going to War Over UXEvgenia (Jenny) Grinblo Slides from my presentation at Reasons to Be Creative, Brighton, UK. Sep 2nd 2013.
Creative work is often associated with the skill and craft involved. But much of the skill necessary for UX work is centered on relationships: clients, users, and teammates. In many of those relationships, championing UX often means dealing with conflict.
What does it mean to rely on relationships in an ever-changing industry? What can we do better to include others in our mission to make empathic and successful products?
In this talk, I share what my experience with the Arab-Israeli conflict has taught me about how to approach work friction with clients and colleagues. I discuss what I learned about the roots of conflict and tools I've experimented with to avoid it.

Cloud Application Blueprints with Apache Brooklyn by Alex Henevald
Cloud Application Blueprints with Apache Brooklyn by Alex Henevaldbuildacloud So you have your cloud running, what now? Extend the devops agility from infrastructure to applications by learning how to use Brooklyn, the Apache-incubating project for application management. Create blueprints for applications to enable one-click deployment into Cloudstack, Docker, localhost, or other targets. Leverage your favourite server management tools, from Bash to Chef. Automatically change the deployment after it's deployed. Attach policies to support scaling, failover, and alerting in the way your application needs.
In this session we'll show how with just a few lines of YAML, you can build powerful application blueprints by composing pre-existing components, from polyglot web stacks to big data tools such as Riak. We'll also cover defining new blueprints using custom scripts, configuring machine selection and runtime policies, and managing new locations such as Clocker -- the cloud of docker.

Managing infrastructure with Application Policy by Mike Cohen
Managing infrastructure with Application Policy by Mike Cohenbuildacloud The document discusses the advantages of using declarative management and application-centric policies for managing network infrastructure. Key points include:
1) Declarative management allows defining policies based on application intent rather than low-level device configurations, improving scalability, resiliency, interoperability, and ease of use.
2) Application-centric policies define rules between endpoint groups (EGPs) using contracts that specify filters and actions applied to network traffic. This mirrors how applications are structured.
3) Open source initiatives aim to support application-centric policy models and APIs in projects like OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and hypervisors to provide an open approach for network automation aligned with application deployments.

How analogue intelligence complements AI
How analogue intelligence complements AIPaul Rowe
Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
