I give talks around the world about...
Compassion-First Design for AI
with co-speaker Samantha Bilodeau
Sure, AI offers endless opportunities. For those of us working in the field, these new challenges are both exciting and scary. However, as our roles as designers shift, it’s important to remember what’s at the heart of it all: people.
/
Forget AI-first, and lead with your heart.
Compassion, not empathy, is the key to fostering meaningful and symbiotic human-AI relationships steeped in intimate emotionality and understanding. Thanks to AI-powered conversational environments and zero interface technologies, humans will be immersed in the most interconnected and intuitive of ways.
But, how do we move away from creating these fragmented moment-based user experiences? It’s simple: compassion.
/
It has no boundaries and is universally understood by all. That, and contextual personalization will empower us, as industry leaders, to make the shift from technology-enabled user experiences, and allow us to connect within our new immersive reality.
/
But, that does beg the question: If compassion can be taught to machines, could we not teach it to humans? And, if we can create emotionally intelligent machines, does that mean AI could potentially save humanity?

The Brand is Dead,
Long Live Artificial Intelligence
The world has always been “branded”. From the number of dots on the wings of the monarch butterfly to the number of stripes on the back of the bengal tiger, “distinctive brands” have allowed us to categorize the complexity of the world.
/
However, around 2014, things started changing. The idea of a Brand is evolving, especially with the advent of artificial intelligence.

However, around 2014, things started changing. The idea of a Brand is evolving, especially with the advent of artificial intelligence.
Brands are undergoing a paradigm shift. It is no long a symbol or a sign. Nor is it a voice. It is becoming an intelligent entity, a personality, an algorithm capable of learning.
/
How can one “Brand” form an artificial intelligence?
What kind of relationship will we now have with the Brand?
Will we become consumers completely manipulated by the Brand? Will we rather develop symbiotic relationships with Brands?

brad, brand et Brands
A Brand is something that you feel. A brand is what you feel about a product, a service or a company. So… How to create a Brand?
