Workshop: How to Use AI to Run Usability Tests (Virtual)

Join us for this hands-on workshop where you'll learn to leverage AI tools for usability testing while maintaining the crucial human element that ensures quality and prevents AI hallucinations.

### ## Learning Objectives

In just 2 hours, you'll be able to:

• Identify key opportunities to integrate AI tools throughout the usability testing process
