TALKS

Maryam Yasaei
The UX of AI: Designing Interfaces Around Uncertainty and Confidence

As AI tools become more embedded in everyday interfaces, designers and developers face new challenges: How do we build trust in systems that aren't always right? How do we communicate uncertainty without undermining confidence? In this talk, we'll explore practical strategies for designing AI-powered user experiences that feel intuitive, honest, and human. From explainability and confidence indicators to error recovery and tone of voice, you'll learn how to create interfaces that guide users through the unpredictable nature of AI with clarity and care.

Strategic Safety in Medical Robotics

Vexev’s robotic vascular imaging system is headed into dialysis clinics, where the safety of patients isn’t optional—it’s fundamental. Hear how intentional, risk-informed design has given our team the confidence to move fast and innovate safely, accelerating our path to clinical trials. As the robotics engineer behind this system’s safety architecture, I’ll share how “shifting safety left” and de-risking what matters can actually save you time to focus on the features instead—applicable across systems in any field.
