This event investigates the impact of new technology paradigms on people’s everyday lives: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Social Media, Algorithms… all are having now proven significant impact on our everyday lives.
In this panel discussion with renowned speakers from Google, Stanford, Berkeley/Amazon, LinkedIn, and Possible’s project on HateSpeech in Twitter, implications on Privacy, Public Discourse, and Digital Well-Being overall will be explored. Included is an interactive segment that will lead attendees through a “Red team/Blue team” exercise – a way to weed out potential “bad actors” that has been successfully employed at LinkedIn to combat potential misuse and abuse of the products we build.

Shawn Herron
Experience Technology Director, Possible
As an Experience Technology Director at Possible, Shawn is leading progressive creative campaigns with a focus on experience design and earned media. “We Counter Hate” on Twitter, by Possible, presented by Shawn Herron. Possible launched “We Counter Hate” earlier this year after its creators discovered that, in 2017, there were more tweets involving messages of hate than Game of Thrones, Major League Baseball, the Super Bowl and the Grammys. The platform helps combat hate speech by turning retweets into donations that go toward organizations dedicated to fighting it, like Life After Hate. Possible teamed up with Spredfast to train A.I. technology to identify hatefluencers and use human moderation to respond to the hate that’s found. It’s radically outperformed expectations of identifying hate speech (91 per cent success) relative to a human moderator, and Possible is continuing to improve the model.

Interactivity with take-home kit, moderated by Stephanie Lucas
“Red Team/Blue Team – Bad Actors”
In this segment, we’ll take a look at how tech product design culture has led to some bad decisions and processes in the past; and how the Design team at LinkedIn built a design culture that begins to correct course. We’ll discuss LinkedIn’s recent “Red Team Blue Team for Designers” workshops as an example of one way we can add a new mental muscle to how we approach design in our day to day work.
We’ll conduct a group activity where attendees will build materials that they can take back to their teams to begin conducting their own Red Team Blue Team workshop, including their own set of “bad actors” to use. Attendees will leave with what they need to get started in their own work contexts to weed out “bad actors” that they can identify with red team / blue workshops, using the kit they receive during this event here.
