What is Unpack?

What is Unpack?

We continue to increasingly witness the impacts and harm caused by complex data-driven technologies, such as AI-enabled products and services, on society. We should have the ability to collectively acknowledge what is the right thing to do to offset the potential damage and operate with a high level of foresight.

Unpack helps you and your team to explore  diverse and inclusive ethical perspectives within groups, enabling collaborative development of ethical mindsets for designing technological services. In this context, engaging in collective dialogue and taking collaborative actions with teams and organisations becomes a key design practice.

We need to think beyond the double diamond framework and embrace a non-linear process for ethical consideration. By integrating ethics into the service design approach, the Unpack toolkit will assist you and your team in making ethical reflections and decisions at every stage.
