6:30 - 7:00pm informal networking
7:00pm presentation
AI has become a part of our everyday lives and impacts nearly everything we do - how we get our news, how we get from point a to point b, or how we cure diseases. What special challenges does AI present to UX designers and researchers? What specific and unique role do we play? And are we falling down on the job?
Crystal Rutland of Particle Design will talk about how the UX community has a responsibility to step up to the plate and answer the challenge being presented to us by AI engineers. Right now, the engineers and scientists are leading the way. As designers, we have a moral obligation to start catching up quickly.
