Unlocking the Potential: Data as a Medium for Design & Justice
•
0 gostou•51 visualizações
As a designer and data scientist, I work with data in service of meeting people’s needs. This data is inherently subjective, which is what makes it both an excellent medium for design and vulnerable to misuse. I’ll share what it means to design with data and how data science can contribute to and augment the design process. Once we see what’s exciting and newly possible, we’ll delve into why now, more than ever, human-centered design matters as we discuss ethics and the impact of AI designs on individuals, communities, and societies. Talk given by Jess Freaner (IDEO) at UX Strategy Meetup in Chicago - November 2019
