If we want our products to be deemed trustworthy and reliable, we need to be transparent about how we work with people’s data. In this talk, Elize will share examples of products and companies who are at the forefront of humanizing technology by applying good ethics and using kind technology. How to build more meaningful conversations with customers is key when working with recommender systems and implementing personalization features. How can you build a better and more trustworthy product yourself? By using radical transparency: give customers more control over their data, share what you know about them and how you use this information, and open up a bigger conversation between citizens and tech companies. Elize challenges all product managers to pass the transparency test: how much information should you share to help people understand your product, its features and the data you use?
