Sentient Design: Crafting Intelligent Interfaces with AI
Summary
Learn how AI can elevate design (and designers!) instead of replacing them by grinding out efficiencies. Instead of treating AI as a tool, Sentient Design invites you to use AI as a design material, woven into the interface itself. What entirely new kinds of experiences can we create? What dramatic new value can they deliver?
Intelligent interfaces are the new frontier of experience design. This session delivers a map of the territory, as well as the framework and perspective to deliver these experiences in your own practice.
