Tech Labs: Designing Human-Centered AI Products with Di Dang, Alex David Norton, Thryn Shapira, and Roxanne Pinto

Curious about designing human-centered AI products? Our People + AI Research (PAIR) team will share insights from the new People + AI Guidebook, a toolkit for making AI product decisions. We’ll walk through a real case study of how a product team used the Guidebook to design a new AI-driven feature, and you’ll learn how to assess whether a problem is a good fit for ML, collect representative training data, and help users understand how to interact with AI systems.

Interaction 20: Designing Human-Centered AI Workshop

What is the role we as product creators play in responsibly building artificial intelligence-driven products?

Google’s People + AI Research team (PAIR) invites you to a workshop to help you gain a stronger understanding of how to approach design for AI. We will share insights from the newly published People + AI Guidebook, a resource Google product teams have utilized to navigate AI product decisions over the past year.

Through applying hands-on exercises, you will learn how to:

  • Ensure that your AI model optimizes for the right thing

  • Make sure your training data aligns with the user need you’re solving for

  • Set your AI system up for success by helping users build the right mental models

  • Define an AI explainability strategy to help appropriately calibrate user trust

You will leave with an understanding of how you can design AI products in a way that complements human expertise, so that your users feel in control of the technology, and not the other way around.

Leading a half-day workshop on how to prototype for VR/AR:

In consumer-facing VR/AR, we are seeing the rise of immersive computing, supplementing our everyday world of web and mobile computing. This means that our interfaces become 360, beyond the 2D flat screens of web and mobile. As UX professionals accustomed to Adobe CC, Axure, and Sketch, how are we to prototype for VR/AR? What are the UX considerations we must keep in mind when clicks/taps aren’t the primary form of engagement?

This workshop consists of two parts: we’ll first establish baseline knowledge in VR/AR to set attendees up for kicking off the hands-on design challenge.

To begin with, attendees will learn about the spectrum of VR/AR, the hardware landscape, and the content ecosystem. From there, we’ll discuss UX guidelines and considerations around input modalities and physical ergonomics, as well as user expectations around the environment versus the interface. We will walk through a case study of the tools and methodologies for low- > medium- > high-fidelity prototyping.

In kicking off the hands-on design challenge, attendees will put into practice what they learned from the overview. Attendees will be given a business problem to solve through prototyping a VR/AR solution, using materials provided. The workshop will conclude with a retrospective discussion of what attendees took away regarding the unique capabilities and constraints of immersive technology.
