AI and Design with Pontus Wärnestål

As organizations continue to adopt artificial intelligence (AI), it has become a critical element in the design of products and services. From e-commerce to factory floors to administration systems and autonomous vehicles, AI is being integrated almost everywhere.

Designing for successful AI-powered services can be daunting, as AI technology is rapidly changing and evolving. Business leaders may even experience anxiety and imposter syndrome regarding AI.

The AI track at Ambition continues to push the boundaries for integrating AI for business impact. We adapt to the group's needs, but we will explore how UX design, service design, and circularity relate to different AI modes. Generating AI possibilities for an organization requires practical, applicable definitions that distinguish hype from reality. An AI + design skillset is necessary, and businesses must understand how to operate at the intersections between tech, design, and business.

Collaboration between design and data science is critical when integrating AI. Teams must work together to advocate for everyday AI ethics and design modes of agency. Conversational design, in particular, is a vital consideration in the AI design process.

The track continually adapts to the needs of the members but includes, e.g.:

  • How to ensure that AI-powered UX design enhances the overall user experience and meets the needs of your customers
  • How to ensure that AI is used ethically and aligned with your organization's values
  • How to stay up-to-date with rapidly evolving AI technology and incorporate new developments into your existing design practice
  • How to measure the success of AI-powered UX design in terms of customer satisfaction, engagement, and retention
  • How to ensure that AI-powered UX design is accessible and inclusive for all users, regardless of ability or demographics
  • How to stay ahead of the competition by using AI-powered UX design to differentiate your business and create a unique value proposition for your customers

Every week Pontus Wärnestål provides one hour of carefully selected recommendations on what to read, watch, or listen to stay ahead. The monthly 1h live sessions with Pontus typically start at 16:00 CET/CEST. Once you sign up, you'll receive calendar bookings well ahead of each session.
