Regarding prev post, this is a non-deterministic architecture flow. An AI screening tool doesn’t follow 1 path — multiple models adjust ur profile before a human sees it. Rejection happens invisibly, systemically. 👉 www.bloomsbury.com/uk/dark-patt... #DeceptiveDesign #DarkPatterns #UX

“Dark patterns” = tricks we can see in the UI. But the real danger lies deeper. Deceptive design covers hidden system logic, AI nudges & profiling we can’t see. If we only fight “dark patterns,” we ignore the machinery behind them.

#DarkPatterns were first wave. With AI in the mix, we’re looking at deceptive design that adapts in real time shaping interfaces. Dark Patterns, Deceptive Design, and the Law unpacks how these systems work & why regulators are struggling. #DarkPatterns #DeceptiveDesign #AI #UX #DigitalRegulation

🚨 New book alert! 🚨 After tackling #DarkPatterns #DeceptiveDesign, I’m diving into something even wilder: NeuroAI — AI powered by brain data. 📘 Artificial Intelligence, NeuroData, and Society: Law at the Edge of Cognition Coming 2026. #NeuroRights #AIethics #ScaryLaw

Can’t wait for this to be published!
