Speculative Design: Fostering Social Responsibility in Requirements Engineering

In a world driven by digital solutions, the societal impact of technology has never been more critical. As Requirements Engineering (RE) practitioners, we can influence both technical and societal aspects of software systems. This talk highlights how Speculative Design can foster social responsibility in RE by encouraging us to consider the ethical, social, and cultural impacts of the technologies we develop.

By exploring future scenarios, speculative thinking connects RE professionals with impacted communities, encouraging a responsible and forward-thinking approach to technology.
