Privacy & AI at HOPE 2025

I enjoyed presenting on the topic of how AI is affecting our privacy at the Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE_16) on Sunday, the 17th of August. The issues associated with AI and privacy are evolving at such a whirlwind pace, that I’m continuously having to update this presentation. I included a chapter on the topic in my forthcoming book, Design for Privacy, too, and there’s already much I’d add now if I could. Just yesterday, news broke that thousand of X’s user chats with Grok could be surface via a Google search. That would’ve gone in the presentation and the book, as well!

Brooklyn Product Design Meetup: Presentation on AI & Privacy

I had a wonderful time presenting to the Brooklyn Product Design meetup on the topic of AI and Privacy—especially from the perspective of how UXers and product designers can position themselves to help mitigate these emerging issues. It’s a fascinating topic, which is evolving at a pace we can hardly keep up with. This is the second time I’ve presented to this group, and they’re always such a lovely and engaging audience!
