Explore a thought-provoking conference talk delivered by Tess Ferrandez-Norlander at NDC London 2025 that examines the ethical responsibilities of software engineers and data scientists in the AI era. Delve into the concerning parallels between our current technological trajectory and dystopian scenarios depicted in "Person of Interest," "Black Mirror," and George Orwell's "1984." Understand how the software being created today carries significant consequences, potentially affecting people's livelihoods, finances, privacy, and even lives. Learn about the critical importance of considering the broader impact of technology, identifying how software will be used in practice, and implementing strategies to prevent the creation of unfair, biased, and dangerous systems. This hour-long presentation serves as a call to action for technology professionals to recognize their role as guardians of humanity's future in an increasingly AI-driven world.
