About the talk
Trust in an AI-powered world
In our rapidly evolving landscape of AI-powered products and interactions, the very nature of trust is being redefined. This talk will delve into the primal principles that foster human trust and explore how we can thoughtfully translate these fundamental concepts into the design of experiences in an increasingly hyper-generated world. We'll examine the unique challenges and opportunities presented by AI, questioning what transparency, reliability, and integrity look like in this era, and ultimately seeking to uncover how we can intentionally build trust into the fabric of our AI-driven designs.
