Visual Diary 13: #2
The topic of AI has been all over social media lately. I see it and read about it on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc. It’s an interesting topic of conversation and hearing the different opinions people have about it, and I never really thought about it in the same discussion as design leadership, but with this class and the discussions we have, it's interesting to think about how we could use AI in the design leadership world. To give background, AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. It’s a program that uses a set of rules or instructions to compute out basically almost anything you want. This could be images, questions, formulas, etc. I got to thinking if AI could be used to answer questions and challenges faced in the design world without feeling like we are stepping over any boundaries or “taking the easy route”. I thought about our previous discussions on abstract and tangible tools to solve issues and how and if AI could be used in the same way. I think personally I've enjoyed using AI programs for fun, but don't really know my stance on if I would use it professionally. Many companies are using it. So there’s the question of is there a design leadership responsibility that designers should think about when using AI?
