Defending against evil with Aarathi Krishnan

UX Podcast

S03E06 (#334). Aarathi Krishnan is an international aid expert, specialising in humanitarian futures and strategic foresight. In a world where the sets of rules that have governed us as humanity are rapidly changing, how will we know if the solutions that we are designing now are going to be fit for purpose?

Aarathi pushes the importance of accountability, guardrails, and awareness in our decision-making, as well as highlighting the need for organizations to explore potential harms. We discuss how it’s possible to have multiple truths, and the historical context of biases.

“The global social contract that we grew up with has been thrown out of the door” – Aarathi Kristnan

(Listening time: 40 minutes)
