Tent Talks Featuring: Heidi Trost

Tent Talks Featuring Heidi Trost

When AI Knows Everything: Privacy, Security, and the Future of UX

Heidi Trost, a UX leader and host of the *Human-Centered Security* podcast, will explore the fascinating—and sometimes unsettling—ways AI is reshaping security, privacy, and user experiences. With AI agents becoming increasingly capable of making decisions and taking actions on our behalf, we face a future where traditional user interfaces fade into the background. What does this mean for designing systems that are both secure and user-friendly?

Heidi will share her unique perspective on how UX design can address the challenges posed by AI-driven technologies, helping users understand and manage their own privacy while mitigating security risks. Whether you’re a designer, researcher, or technologist, this conversation will spark new ideas and leave you inspired to rethink how we design for a more secure future.

Tent Talks: Sharing Ideas with the UX Design Community & Beyond

Chicago Camps hosts irregularly scheduled Tent Talks with people from all across the User Experience Design community, and beyond.

What is a Tent Talk? 

That’s a great question, we’d love to tell you.

Tent Talks are Chicago Camps’ signature live podcast sessions, designed to foster engaging discussions. Each session, lasting between 10 to 20 minutes, features a series of five thought-provoking questions with our guest speakers.

This format not only encourages insightful dialogue but also ensures that each session is packed with valuable content that is easily and quickly consumable. Post-event, these talks are polished and published on popular platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, allowing a wider audience to benefit from these enriching conversations.

Why We Do Tent Talks

Our goal with Tent Talks is to continue providing high-quality, accessible content that resonates with and enriches the UX Design community. We believe in the power of sharing knowledge and experiences, and through these talks, we aim to foster a space for learning, inspiration, and connection. These sessions are more than just discussions; they are a platform for idea exchange and community building within and beyond the realms of UX Design.
