In this Nobel Prize Summit, a workshop on deceptive design is hosted by Transatlantic Consumer Dialogue and the Electronic Privacy Information Center, and the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy, University of Cambridge. This workshop of experts aims to explore how lawmakers and regulators on both sides of the Atlantic are tackling the issue of deceptive design and explore how lessons learned on both shores can help provide global regulatory solutions. Several notable speakers will take part in the workshop, including Harry Brignull, who first coined the term "Dark Pattern" in 2010.

After their successful event "Generative AI: The next big revolution?" in March, Tech Ethics Bristol is organizing a new event "Dark Patterns: All you need to know". This event aims to explore the concept of Dark Patterns, their impact on our decisions, privacy, and autonomy, and the ethical implications of these deceptive design techniques. For this event, 4 speakers will shed light on the harms of dark patterns, how they erode trust, and what we can do about them. Speakers include Colin Gavaghan, Professor of Digital Futures at the University of Bristol. Lisa Talia Moretti, Digital Sociologist and User Research Principal at AND Digital. Ben Byford, Games Designer, Ethicist and Host of the Machine Ethics Podcast. Ray Newman, Senior content design consultant at SPARCK.

A large literature demonstrates that dark patterns fulfill their objectives more easily when they are used on mobile applications, in particular mobile game applications. The context of use of said applications generates decision-making based on System 1 (Kahneman) and heuristics, which is fast and inexpensive in terms of cognitive costs. Beyond the visible direct consequences, these techniques contribute to the reinforcement of generalized behavioral manipulation practices which question our collective relationship to the progress of techniques and question our social contract in the digital age. This communication given by Fabien Lechevalier of Laval University and Marie Potel of Amurabi aims to provide an overview of the regulatory framework governing dark patterns, identify its shortcomings, and to propose sustainable regulatory solutions that really take into account human cognitive limits.

This highly anticipated, four-day event attracts professionals from all over the globe to connect and learn about the latest developments in privacy and data protection. Its conference, scheduled to hold on the 4th and 5th of April, will involve a roundtable featuring Marie Potel-Saville, founder and CEO of Amurabi, who will be discussing dark patterns, how to spot them, and how to switch to fair patterns.

This interactive workshop will recap the main takeaways of the CPDP23 panels about online deception and map out the next actions needed to undertake as a community to fight dark patterns. It will consider: • How might we capitalise on the existing knowledge about dark patterns? • What are the best ways to strategise and coordinate the upcoming actions of the community? • Which solutions against dark patterns exist and which ones should be created? • What is one common goal that can be achieved in 2023?
