“What are the parts of machine learning that can be designed? It’s important to start by establishing a shared vocabulary between ML and UX” — @michellercarney#WhatIf#InfoCamp2019
Online platform & groups need moderators, context, clearly rules and guidelines...this is not a new communication technology, we know they come with challenges & conflicts #Whatif .@infoberkeley@BerkeleyISchool
More highlights from the panel on conflict in online communities: Conflict [online] is INEVITABLE. It’s part of a healthy community. But we need to make sure we have the right moderation tools in place: #WhatIf#InfoCamp2019
Autonomous security is often employed to keep homeless and dissident people out of public spaces. "Are only normies allowed to stay?"

Brandon Harris: “If you build a community you are responsible for moderating any conflict that arises in it. That includes training moderators and providing them resources to deal with things like PTSD...” #WhatIf#InfoCamp2019
Exploring peer to peer conflict resolution on online communities. When should moderation happen on the public forum and when should it be taken to a private stage? How harsh is too harsh? When should moderators intervene? #WhatIf#InfoCamp2019
Sonya Mann: "Moderation strategy is complicated. As a community changes over time, specially if it experiences rapid growth, there's culture shock [...] and that needs to be dealt with carefully." #WhatIf#InfoCamp2019
Marc Faddoul on how distinguishing between conspiracy theories and investigative journalism is walking a blurry line on #unconference right now! #WhatIf#InfoCamp2019

“[At Uber] All we thought about is how we can have the most efficient framework, not the most emotionally effective framework. By telling riders their driver was deaf or hard of hearing, we were creating silence during rides which wasn’t a great experience” #WhatIf#infocamp2019
Understanding PEOPLE with Eric Shlackman from @stripe: “Go from thinking about features to thinking about FUTURES. I always think in narratives, to think about the people using the product” #WhatIf#infocamp2019
Jessica Strick: “What we put out as exhibits reflects the people who made them, and that’s something we are always trying to improve upon” @exploratorium#WhatIf#infocamp2019
Continuing the discussion about understanding users with Jessica Strick, Lead Exhibit Developer at the @exploratorium — “What matters for visitors is to make the experience REAL, make it COMPELLING, make it ENGAGING, make it INCLUSIVE, and make it DIRECT” #WhatIf#infocamp2019
Product Launches aren’t always flawless — when it don’t go right, it’s important to take a step back and evaluate what you’re trying to achieve and learn from the people you are creating for. Thank you Emon for the advice! #WhatIf#infocamp2019
