Tackling Tech Ethics: Empowering the Builders w/ Value-sensitive Gameplay
summary
Shares The Designated Dissenter, a card deck and remote framework that empowers junior designers to surface concrete impacts by forcing specific claims and counterclaims rather than vague examples. Workshops pair stakeholder cards with 10 value cards (from Bartlett Friedman research) so the designated dissenter writes worst-case unintended consequences while others write best impacts. Includes prototyping and facilitation steps, was used in industry workshops, and contrasts with harms like the Robinhood case where 3 million new users and a $700,000 misdisplay lead to tragedy.
