ABOUT THE TALK
Designing a More Human Relationship with AI: Five Shifts to Build a Meaningful Future
As artificial intelligence becomes woven into every aspect of our lives, designers are uniquely positioned to shape a future that champions humanity rather than outpaces it. This talk will explore five essential mindset shifts for building experiences that elevate human creativity, empathy, and intuition. We’ll dive into practical strategies for designing beyond automation, achieving transparency in user data, and shifting from a quick-win ""attention economy"" to a ""meaning economy"" that prioritizes emotional significance, driving value to the bottom line.
Whether you're a designer, developer, or decision-maker, you’ll leave inspired to make AI work for — not against — what makes us inherently human.
