DIO #7 (Oslo Innovation Week): Designing Human AI Experiences

During Oslo Innovation Week 2019, we discussed companies’ use of AI, preparing for the disruption of job markets and how Human + Machine can work together to improve our lives. While Generative AI has been evolving for years, recent updates and breakthroughs provide new user experiences that feel entirely different, profoundly impacting how we live, work and create, collapsing the space between idea and execution to a second.

The potential opportunities that emerge are both exciting and terrifying, imposing a fine line between empowerment and being overpowered. So, it’s time for an update: How has AI gone from helping us to answer to helping us create? What potential is there and how will this impact humans and society? What ethical considerations do we need to take into account now? How can new AI tools enhance the speed and originality of innovation? How can we design these AI experiences so that they are both desirable for technology and humanity?

Join Accenture Song and Microsoft on September 26th as our panel of industry experts deep dive into creating truly human Artificial Intelligence experiences, followed by networking with food and drink!

Please be aware that having a reservation is a pre-requisit but doesn't guarantee a spot, it is first-come-first-served, and we will limit attendees to 100 for health & safety regulations.
