**9:45 - 10:15**
A moderated design leadership Q&A
featuring Thorsten Jonas (DE)
Founder of The Sustainable UX Network

Will AI lead to an explosion in creativity as predicted by Open AI’s Sam Altman?
Can you be a design advocate for a sustainable future – and still work with AI?

We’re facing a paradox:
Can we build responsibly using tools that aren’t exactly green?
How do we ensure that unsustainable technologies (like AI-powered search) don’t get to hide behind ‘usability’ as an excuse?

In this opening session, Kristina Larsen from VIA University College will lead a conversation with Thorsten Jonas on the big topics in design today.

Thorsten is a sought after expert at the intersection of design and sustainability, keynote speaker and founder of the SUX Network. He is guiding teams and companies in crafting sustainable, responsible and ethical digital products and co-leads the UX committee for the UX chapter of the W3C Sustainable Web Design Guidelines. As co-host of the SUX Podcast, he interviews thought leaders from around the globe and shares insights and strategies for integrating sustainability into product design processes.

We won’t pretend to have all the answers –but we will ask the questions that move the conversation forward.
