Each design is a manifesto for the future

The world is on the edge right now. Climate crises, rising inequalities on many levels, the return of realities we thought we had overcome. The digital products we design play a role in all this. And that gives us the power, but als obligation to act.

Each design decision is more than a functional choice; it embodies a vision for the future, reflecting and influencing societal values and realities, whether intentionally or inadvertently. Choices - even small ones - can serve as pivotal inflection points that dictate trends, shape technology adoption, and impact social norms.

Design can provide toolsets and strategies to shape the future, to shift narratives and to use technology to make the world a better place for every being on this planet.

But we need to use this power wisely and it includes the choices we make for ourselves and about the technology we use. What is the role of AI in it?

This talk will invite you to explore the long-term implications but also transformative power of your design decisions and strategies, recognizing that every user experience is a building block of the world to come and that design and we as designers have the power to shape the future.
