EthUX - ethics and ux

3 gefällt mir•919 views
My closing keynote from Product Camp Poland 2018. As technologists, we all wield great power. I think we have an ethical responsibility to use this wisely. Alas, most people are confused by terms such as "morals" and "ethics." What is the difference? How can I apply this to my own work? There are a lot of bullet points. I know this isn't fashionable, but I wanted you to be able to print this out and use it as a reference in your work.
