From shows like “Humans” to “Westworld”, popular culture is full of dystopian visions of a higher intelligence that ranges out of control and overtakes humanity.
Is this the only way to look at the AI-powered future?
What if AI is not about replicating or replacing humans with machines, but to enhance and extend human capabilities?
What if we as designers can combine the best of both worlds: the irreplaceable and nuanced insights borne from human intuition, along with the power of machines?
This talk is a thought-provoking exploration of designing for the augmented human from the future. We will be looking at future scenarios where our environments, senses, cognition, and physique will be drastically different; future profiles where people’s abilities, purpose, and constructs will be given rather than shaped; and technologies where machines will take care of a lot more actions, decisions, and efforts that we can possibly imagine.
Exclusively created for IXDC, this talk will be about how human-centered design might evolve with human capabilities massively enhanced by machines.
1、The audience will walk away with a refreshed understanding of “AI”
2、The audience will feel propelled to redefine the meaning and the future of their job
3、The audience will have some frameworks that might help them to think about designing for the future
