Human Intelligence Reimagined: UX Meets AI—the Next Frontier in Societal Technology
Explore how AI and UX can work together to enhance user experience in industries like education, retail, and healthcare. Discover how the innovative Z Methodology can seamlessly integrate human and computational intelligence to reveal and augment tacit human knowledge and behavior. Education, retail, and healthcare are three significant global areas that could greatly benefit from the merger of user experience research/design and artificial intelligence. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought these issues even more to the forefront as recurring lockdowns have forced people to stay at home, necessitating the transfer of services to virtual domains.
This talk will explore the application of human-computer interaction (HCI) for complex machine learning in embodied learning scenarios. The work described in this talk will apply a novel HCI methodology developed by Dr. Setor Zilevu to complex ML contexts to capture and assess how humans move, think, and learn in embodied spaces. Come join us in this exciting journey of understanding the potential of AI in the field of UX. With the Z Methodology, we will explore the possibilities of creating a new societal technology that is collaborative, human-centric, and empowering for all. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to learn about this cutting-edge approach and discover the potential of UX in AI.
