Still thinking about @philvanallen's new, great #AI-for-#UX-designers toolkit: http://philvanallen.com/portfolio/delft-ai-toolkit/… (think: Lego Mindstorms for AI w/wizard of Oz puppeting as a key component of the workflow)
As designers move from the #design of individual things to complex ecologies of smart things, some older conceptions that influenced the development of #AI may have renewed relevance https://hubs.ly/H0fYHwl0 @mikekuniavsky, @xeeliz and @philvanallen detail in @interactionsMag
“One of the things we have to think about designing for AI is people’s perceptions of AI (i.e. Smart. Social Inuitive. Alive.) In fact, AI is quite dumb. It’s the exact opposite of what people think it is (i.e. One POV. Not alive. Awkward. Very limited.).” @philvanallen #dwpdx
Artificial Intelligence: “It has to be a designed artifact not just a tech artifact.” @philvanallen Thank you @JLRIncubator for the discussion as part of @DesignWeekPDX.
