Presentation explaining the organisation of my speculative design critical report.

1. CRItiCAL
REPORT
ADRIANO MESCIA

2. WHAT?
A SPECULATIVE DESIGN PROJECT
ON THE POSSIBLE FUTURE OF
HUMAN INTERACTIONS
INFLUENCED BY TECHNOLOGIES RELATED TO
AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS AND
MEANINGFUL HUMAN CONTROL

3. HOW?
Starting from the theme of surveillance
I analysed facial recognition systems
which brought me to a research into
biometrics
As every surveillance systems it has
effects on people’s privacy,
being based on the use of big data.

4. HOW?
After the research I hypothesized
a future scenario democratisation
of surveillance technology
and i imagined how people reacted
to it

5. WHY?
to show the change of human
interactions and relationships
between people
influenced by facial recognition
machines used in a everyday situations
and To make people reflect on how
even currently our behaviours are
influenced by technology

6. WHY?
and going in this direction,
relying too much on the machines
can bring us to destroy
the humanity in our interactions
which will surely have
drastic effects on social life

7. so what?
We could arrive to the paradoxal
point thatAutonomous machines
take over human reasoning

8. what if?
Machine take over our decisional
power and people start to trust
their opinion more their own

9. FUTURE
REACTIVENESS
never let technologies take
decision for me and in general
rely less on them, especially
in a social context.
trying to spread my idea.

10. wait..related to my project
or to the speculative design
methodology?
