Content Strategy Seattle (Paula Land & Larry Swanson)

Designing responsible conversations is a challenging prospect, but it can absolutely be done.

Conversations generate extraordinary power. Our words can harm or heal, obfuscate or enlighten, generate confusion or clarity. They can make our day or ruin our mood. So what happens when one side of the conversation comes from a machine? How do we teach our machines to connect, to quip, to clarify, to lighten the mood?Designing responsible conversations is indeed a challenging prospect, but it can absolutely be done. In this session, we&#x27;ll consider why conversations matter and the duty of care that we assume when we engage people in an inherently emotional activity: talking with them. We&#x27;ll explore the powerful emotional components of human communication, and what the research tells us about how we connect with our devices. Finally, we&#x27;ll look at some conversational examples and consider the ethics of different approaches to authoring.Come at 6:30 for light nibbles and networking; the talk will begin at 7:00.<h3>Deborah Harrison</h3>Deborah Harrison is one of the original architects of the personality for Microsoft&#x27;s digital assistant, Cortana.
