In my opinion, interaction designers have a critical ethical duty to ensure their work with AI prioritizes user well-being, trust, and fairness. The responsibility includes

  1. Transparency: Clearly explain AI capabilities, limitations, and decision-making processes to users.
  2. Privacy: Safeguard user data, ensure informed consent, and minimize data collection.
  3. Bias Mitigation: Proactively identify and reduce biases in AI models to ensure fairness across all user demographics.
  4. Autonomy: Design systems that empower users with control over AI interactions and avoid manipulative tactics.
  5. Accessibility: Ensure AI-driven interfaces are inclusive and usable for diverse populations, including those with disabilities.
  6. Accountability: Anticipate potential misuse and design safeguards to protect users from harm.
  7. Sustainability: Assess the long-term societal and environmental impact of AI integration
