About Event
As digital products grow more powerful, so does their ability to influence user behavior, sometimes in ways that cross ethical lines. From manipulative checkout flows and forced consent banners to AI systems that nudge, persuade, and personalize at scale, designers have become the gatekeepers of user trust.
This meetup brings the community together for an honest conversation about where persuasion ends and manipulation begins. We will unpack real world dark patterns, examine how AI is reshaping the ethics conversation, and discuss what new regulations (like India's DPDP Act and the EU AI Act) mean for the way we design every day.
