“What are the parts of machine learning that can be designed? It’s important to start by establishing a shared vocabulary between ML and UX” — @michellercarney #WhatIf #InfoCamp2019

Online platform & groups need moderators, context, clearly rules and guidelines...this is not a new communication technology, we know they come with challenges & conflicts #Whatif .@infoberkeley @BerkeleyISchool

More highlights from the panel on conflict in online communities: Conflict [online] is INEVITABLE. It’s part of a healthy community. But we need to make sure we have the right moderation tools in place: #WhatIf #InfoCamp2019

Autonomous security is often employed to keep homeless and dissident people out of public spaces. "Are only normies allowed to stay?" From Noura Howell's excellent work on tangible ui. #infocamp2019 @infoberkeley

Exploring peer to peer conflict resolution on online communities. When should moderation happen on the public forum and when should it be taken to a private stage? How harsh is too harsh? When should moderators intervene? #WhatIf #InfoCamp2019

Sonya Mann: "Moderation strategy is complicated. As a community changes over time, specially if it experiences rapid growth, there's culture shock [...] and that needs to be dealt with carefully." #WhatIf #InfoCamp2019
