As design becomes more mainstream, it is increasingly pushed into roles of limited influence, roles that often prescribe designers to be embellishers of another’s work. We identified and rethought two huge, vexingly complicated problems, in order to imagine a radical change to modern life. Our solution to the first problem is a powerful platform to understand the reliability of content through real-time fact checking and content credibility measures. Doing this kind of work required the invention of a new process of tackling wicked problems.
