Swimming in Data (as the AI wave approaches)
The materials we design with are changing. In the last two decades, I’ve expanded my focus from designing with pixels, to using data, to now using AI. Every new cid:f_mamllifa1`material opens new opportunities for how we design (Process), and what we design (Product). My talk will focus on the latter.
First, I’ll reflect on a decade of building data-heavy products & experiences, and show how I’ve designed with data as a material for exhibiting, explaining, exploring, expressing & enabling. Next, I’ll highlight how similar directions are emerging for designing AI-powered products & experiences, and how designers can go beyond exhibiting the output from AI models. I’ll conclude with areas of opportunities in AI x design that I’m excited for.
If you’re interested in becoming more data-literate, want to go beyond merely adding a chat UI for AI, and want some practical tips to get started, this talk is for you. Prepare for the AI wave by getting comfortable swimming in data.
