Interaction designers can be ethical by avoiding dark patterns in design. Dark patterns are when a design tricks users into doing things they might not have meant to do. Manipulative wording of text, manipulating visual emphasis, and creating a false sense of urgency can cause users to make hasty or bad choices on accident. When it comes to AI, interaction designers must make sure to anticipate the AI having biases due to the information it was trained on. We can also try to make the AI less biased. AI algorithms are also often used to give the user more content that they’ll like and make them addicted. It’s important to be aware of the effects that a design could have on a user, positive and negative. Overall, interfaces should be transparent and clear, making the user experience a positive one and having a positive effect on users.
