Join us for a candid conversation on the tension between artificial intelligence and human empathy.
In a world where algorithms can generate interfaces in seconds, what happens to the "human" in Human-Centered Design? Is the efficiency of AI a paradox that distances us from the people we serve, or is it the progress we need to solve deeper, more complex problems?
In this session, Steve Whitby, Partner and Head of Strategy & Innovation at Cabin, will move us past the tools and into the methodology. We will explore:
- Accelerating Strategy: How to integrate AI into your workflow to speed up ideation and validation while keeping human empathy at the center of your decisions.
- Anticipating Needs: Moving beyond simple "chatbots" to design ambient experiences that understand users and solve problems before they even ask.
- Solving the Right Problems: How to use AI to uncover hidden friction and validate that you are building the right thing, not just the fast thing.
This isn’t just a talk; it’s a gathering for our community. If you’re a designer, strategist, engineer, or product leader passionate about building what's next, you're welcome at the Cabin. Come for the insights, stay for the conversation and the drinks!
