What does an implementable Ai + HCD framework look like? Sarah Tan the founder of Formatif.com, a Human-Centered AI Product Innovation Studio and AI Design Partner to companies, with her varied experience as a Designer, Innovation Consultant and Venture Investor, has created a framework and delivers a series of Ai + HCD workshops. Based in Singapore, her passion lies in advocating for design-led innovation in complex tech industries. She has worked with global brands like Phillips and Gensler to early tech startups in AI and Web 3.0 like Traceable Ai and also had a previous role at Incubate Fund. Key Highlights from the Conversation: Human-Centered AI Methodology: Sarah developed her unique human-centered AI methodology in partnership with AI Singapore and NUS. This methodology is distinct from traditional human-centered design as it focuses on aligning user needs with data needs, considering technical feasibility and ethical implications of AI. Five-Step Human-Centered AI Process: Sarah's workshops guide participants through a five-step process: defining the AI opportunity, ideating solutions, explaining the AI, managing user expectations, and considering the societal impact. AI as a Design Material: Sarah emphasizes the importance of approaching AI as a design material and evaluating its potential use cases within existing products or services. Ethical and Responsible AI: The conversation highlights the need for a shift in the AI landscape towards more ethical and responsible AI development, moving beyond just focusing on the technology itself. AI Design Toolkit: Formative offers an AI design toolkit with capability cards and prompts to help designers and developers evaluate and create ethical AI products.

1984 saw the birth of Lürzer's Archive - considered by many for the last 30 years to be the gold standard of referencing award winning campaigns in one place. 2023 saw the birth of adaily.co - a AI-powered marketing researcher with a bank of 2300+ award winning campaigns (2019-2023) and accessible in 14 languages. Will Adaily give Lurzers it's Eastman Kodak Company moment? Remains to be seen! Piotr Bombol answers this and many other questions about why he and his co-founders thought to build Adaily. An economist by training, though with 10+ years of experience in digital marketing, strategy and now Ai - what you'll love about this conversation is Piotr's candour and the detail and transparency with which he shares the journey to build and scale Adaily.

We're at a time where Ai is everywhere; but the use of Ai in 'creative communities' (beyond image generation and some in music and art), isn't as prevalent. Neol is unique here in how it seems to be replicating what are human creative service experiences and workflows, with the help of Ai. Ai Agents mimic the kind of interaction you might have otherwise have with a team - only now you're doing this primarily through chat interfaces. Through the Neol platform, organizations can tackle their vital challenges by working with the world’s top creative leaders. We chat with Akar Sumset, one of the co-founders at Neol, driving the overall product experience. From startups to scale ups and corporate organizations, he has spent nearly 15 years in the software industry. He is interested in strategy, science, logic, art and, product design.

Parametric architecture has been around for a while, but new explorations with Ai by architects like Alessandra Condello are really taking it to the next level.So much so that Alessandra's work has been showcased by the official DALL-E Open Ai page multiple times!Alessandra is an architect, artist and photographer from Avezzano, Italy, about an hour from Rome. She graduated in Architecture at the University of Valle Giulia in Rome La Sapienza.She actively uses tools like Dall:E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and RunwayML to create speculative work around parametric architecture, fashion and sculpture, essentially using generative algorithms to investigate the relationship between traditional art and artificial intelligence.She also co-founded the Ai Artists Foundation alongside Roberto B. and Matteo UrbaniCheck out her work here : https://www.instagram.com/aalessandra.condello/Like, Follow & comment below! Check out other conversations about Ai + Dance / Art / Design Services / Anthropology and much more : https://open.spotify.com/show/3XQxwubA1fz8TJIjRP7a2B?si=a683239549f34468New episodes every week#ai #experience #architecture #dalle #artificialintelligence #speculative

Marc Lee (born 1969) is a Swiss artist. He uses contemporary art as a vehicle to continuously redefine how we see ourselves and the world around us.He is experimenting with information and communication technologies and within his contemporary art practice, he reflects critically creative, cultural, social, ecological and political aspects. In this context he is creating network-oriented interactive art projects: interactive installations, media art, internet art, performance art, video art, augmented reality (AR) art, virtual reality (VR) art and mobile art apps.His works are exhibited in major Museums and new media art exhibitions including: ZKM Karlsruhe, New Museum New York, Transmediale Berlin, Ars Electronica Linz, HMKV Dortmund, HEK Basel, Fotomuseum Winterthur, Read_Me Festival Moscow, CeC Dehli, MoMA Shanghai, ICC Tokyo, Nam June Paik Art Center, Media Art Biennale and MMCA Seoul.In this episode we dive into Marc's new project in 2023 - 'Control & Optimize Nature' (https://marclee.io/en/caon/) - a look into a speculative world, 30 years into the future where in the quest to ensure natural systems can deliver for the demands of the time, man now plays 'god' through Ai. Imagining a speculative future where technological solutionism has been taken to an extreme, CAON – control and optimize nature explores the potential of advanced technologies in the management of future ecosystems. In a habitat where animal, fungi, and plant species have been modified by 3D printing, CRISPR, and synthetic biology, the viewer observes an AI preventing the delicate ecosystem from collapsing.Marc showcased this work at the Bangalore International Centre and will continue to do so in other parts of the world.Follow ThisIsCreativeAi and check out other conversations about Ai + Dance / Art / Design Services / Anthropology and much moreNew episodes every week#ai #experience #climatechange #nature #artificialintelligence #art

In the middle of this Ai hype cycle, it's important to pause, reflect and ask critical questions. Who better to do this with than an anthropologist!Michiel Baas is presently a senior research fellow with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, was previously a research fellow at National University of Singapore and co-ordinator with the International Institute of Asian Studies in Leeden & Amsterdam.He chats with Karn Malhotra, as they explore societal attitudes towards Ai and ask critical questions:- Should we give Ai agency?- To what degree are we anthropromorphosizing this technology?- What would it take for us to accept it as a cohabitant rather than a threat to our species?- Michiel's work profiling data scientists- Data is 'knowledge' - should data scientists be gatekeepers?- Data is binary, gender isn't. Do data scientists factor this into LLM's?Follow ThisIsCreativeAi for knowledge (beyond lists) about Ai & Creativity#ai #anthropology #criticalthinking #deepdive #technology #maxplanck #university #singapore #research #amsterdam #thisiscreativeai
