How can we pay better attention to the ways in which some aspects of our research or outcomes of our designs might seem \u2018creepy\u2019?<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, I begin with the premise that \u201cdoing the right thing\u201d is an outcome of rhetorically powerful tangles of human and non-human elements, embedded in deep\u2014often invisible\u2014structures of software, politics, and habits. Every action by individuals\u2014whether designers, programmers, marketers, researchers, policy makers or consumers\u2014reinforces, resists, and reconfigures existing ethical boundaries for what is acceptable and just.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the development of nuanced approaches for ethics in digital and technology studies, the general language surrounding ethics has remained ensconced in that of regulations, requirements, and concepts, born from biomedical models that don\u2019t fit well with contemporary research environments and practices. In this talk, I suggest a framework of ethics in digital research that focuses less on \u2018ethics\u2019 and more on what might be potentially \u2018creepy\u2019 about what we\u2019re doing in our everyday research and design.  This is combined with a future oriented \u2018what if\u2019 approach. Placing more responsibility on one\u2019s personal choices is not the most comfortable position, but as the world grows more technologically mediated and digitally saturated, it is particularly important to speculate about future possibilities and harms.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to conclude this talk by introducing and getting feedback on sample scenarios that could be used to help Microsoft Researchers include ethical considerations in both conceptual and practical research contexts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .asset-content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What constitutes ethical design of technologies, ethical use of data, and ethical research?
