Artificial Intelligence feat. UX

🗣 The language of this meetup is English.

Everyone is talking about AI. There are countless articles about how AI will take our job, how machines will rule the world some day, and so forth. These are all important topics. We feel however, that we are not talking enough about the practical things.

During this meetup we will focus on how AI affects UX design and research. How our point of view should change to apply the knowledge given by these clever algorithms? What do we mean by control? What does it mean that there can be myriads of different outcomes for each user?

Péter Polgár and Mátyás Szaszkó, 2 experienced UXers will talk about different aspects of UX in the AI driven world.

After the talks we would like to invite you to discuss the things we heard, have a debate, have a conversation that you might not have during your daily job.

Oh, and we have one Amuse UX Conference (http://www.amuseconf.com/) ticket and tons of superb Sketch App giveaways (https://www.sketchapp.com/) in our pocket as well ;)

SPEAKERS

Péter Polgár — Head of UX @Emarsys, former UX researcher @Prezi
Designing AI products

Peter currently obsesses on how the rise of AI technologies will change UX and product design. To this end he edits Algorithmic Experiences (https://polgarp.github.io/alg-exp/), a weekly newsletter on designing human experiences in the age of AI.

Designing products with AI technology, especially machine learning offers some unique challenges, for example the product needs to be trained and may behave in unexpected ways confusing and surprising users. This changes how designers need to work on such products. In this talk I'll introduce some of the issues and some of the already emerging design principles in the field.

Mátyás Szaszkó — Product Manager and UXer at Bicycle AI
Designing around variable usefulness for an AI assistant

Mátyás had his start in Psychology, crossed the big corporate digital swamp, worked on a chatbot platform for financial institutions and ended up in Y Combinator with Bicycle AI.

How can AI assist people in today's workplace? This is what we're working on at Bicycle AI and I'll show you a couple of examples on how we aim to solve the more common AI related UX and product challenges. How to design for variable usefulness? Recall or precision? How do you give the user control over their experience?
