A presentation at Emerce Dare in in Amsterdam, Netherlands by Nick van der Linde
@nickvanderlinde Artificial intelligence Looking Beyond the Hype Cycle
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Nick van der Linde Creative lead
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare “Artificial intelligence” ”Machine learning” ”Cognitive computing” ”Neural systems”
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare (Also: OMG will robots take over my job? ! ) How can we use AI to design and build better digital products?
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Bots vs. Designers? (Is this even the right question?)
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare What is this thing?
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Machines that mimic cognitive functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as “learning” and “problem solving”. Artificial Intelligence:

@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Takes knowledge from one domain, transfers to other domain General AI Narrow AI Dedicated to assist with or take over specific tasks Machines that are an order of magnitude smarter than humans Super AI 3 stages of AI Credit: Chris Noessel
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare In the next 10 years, the shift will be towards a world that is AI-first” Sundar Pinchai, CEO, Google “

@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare We believe the future is about less interactivity, not more.

INSIGHT @nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Artificial intelligence allows us to fundamentally reimagine today’s screen-based interactions.
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare We are not limited by technology. We are limited by our imagination.
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Desktop interfaces Natural language interfaces Mobile interfaces
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Natural language interfaces will radically change how we interact with technology.
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare How will this change our work?

@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare 47% of jobs are at high risk of computerisation over the next 20 years” Michael Osborne, Carl Frey, Oxford University, 2013 “
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Wait, I’m a creative!

@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare How do we stay relevant?
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare A few ideas on the role of design in a world of algorithms…
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Seeing the bigger picture 5 1
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare So… what did the designer on this project do?

INSIGHT @nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Design helps to connect the dots, bridging the gap between people and new technology.
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Design the algorithms 5 2
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Artificial intelligence is about content and design as much as it is about engineering.
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Things to consider: • Data quality • Data relevance • Ethics Things to consider: • Format • Tone of voice • User experience Algorithm Input Output CALENDAR Things to consider: • Potential bias • Quality
INSIGHT @nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare AI requires intense collaboration between content specialists, designers and technologists.
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Build in affordances 5 3

@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare
INSIGHT @nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare As stuff increasingly happens “under the hood”, building in affordance will go a long way toward preventing disaster.

INSIGHT @nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Take the time to fool around, and try new things outside of your “regular” projects
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare 1. See the bigger picture
Design the algorithm 3. Build in affordance
Keep fooling around Key take-aways
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Going forward
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Bots vs. Designers M This is the wrong way to look at it
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare ✓ Abstraction ✓ Breaking rules ✓ Judgment ✓ Nuance ✓ Storytelling ✓ Computation ✓ Memory ✓ Perseverance ✓ Precision ✓ Speed + Together, we make a great team
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare @nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare How will you make robots work for you? @nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare
@nickvanderlinde Emerce Dare Thank you! 1 @nickvanderlinde nvanderlinde@mirabeau.nl
With the arrival of self-driving cars, hyper-intelligent chat bots and the internet of things, the age of artificial intelligence is finally here.
And this raises interesting questions: what is the role of user experience design in a world where algorithms increasingly make decisions. Will there by anything left to design?
This talk explores the impact of AI on the field of user experience design, and elaborates on why the relevancy of design as a discipline will increase as artificial intelligence matures.
Here’s what was said about this presentation on social media.
Afraid #AI will take over your design job? @nickvanderlinde thinks designers and #bots each have their own qualities @emerce #2016Dare pic.twitter.com/TnolIkKCpT
