Is your Alexa giving you sass? Does your banking mobile app give you more confidence than your car’s software morals? Does your insurance app cause headaches? This is the stuff we create! Giving life to experiences that rock people’s world, release by release and creating the future product by product feels like the coolest thing in the world...but ever felt there some things we could and should be doing with it? How do we create a bright future with software products? Innovative technology products and the people who use it are the waters that we naturally navigate through which means we can create an ethical future... Let’s clip that pesky AI apocalypse in the bud... 
Mike Rawling, a ux veteran of products and projects of all sizes and shapes, takes attendees on a multi-dimensional, time travelling experience, teasing apart science fiction from fact in the product design and development process where we will together create a healthy, ethical approach on the future of what we do and how we create it, in this rapidly changing landscape of INhuman politics, DISrupted devices, niche platforms and EXploding markets to complement our our XP, Agile, Lean, design and development principles. All intelligences, Human and Artificial, are cordially invited!

Things to think about…
Our vision of utopia…
We need to think about:
• What tech is suitable? What areas are sensitive?
• Where are people abusing tech? Right now? Infuture
• What’re the most positive?
•
• What approach should we use?
• Introduce EXs? (Ethical eXperience practioners?)
• Who should lead this? Regulation? Self-regulation? Hope?
• What shape should teams take to get there?
• And important as anything else…
Anything that isn’t here?!!!
