$375 USDEmpowering: Bringing your IA/UX skills to AI by understanding, guiding, supporting AI projects
This practical workshop for IA/UX practitioners will increase your knowledge and confidence creating human-centered, responsible AI systems. This workshop is for people that may find themselves pulled into AI projects (even if you don’t work for AI firms), or you may become aware of AI projects in your organization that should involve IA/UX (with your advocacy). You do not need to be doing AI work now or have AI experience/knowledge to participate. In this workshop we will explore the various types of AI systems, how they work, their applications/implications, and roles you can play on teams. Through a wide range of examples and group activities, we’ll have fun exploring the landscape, how to apply our skills/methods, and how our involvement matters!
