What do you want the robots to do for you?
Thinking about the future of AI causes anxiety. We see its flaws and also its immense potential to improve our lives. But there is much work to be done. According to Josh Clark, a UX designer and design leader who helps organizations build products for whatâs next, he shares four design principles that can improve how we build AI. The catch: it starts with us.

In 1996, he created the popular âCouch-to-5Kâ (C25K) running schedule, which has helped millions of skeptical would-be exercisers take up jogging. (His motto is the same for fitness as it is for software user experience: no pain, no pain.)
Favorite quotes from this talk See all
If we're taking all of the past data to predict the future, doesn't that mean we're going to have all of the problems of the past?
We need to get people on our teams that reflect the broader community.
How do we avoid building our ugly past into the future? Maybe put another way: How do we think about gathering data that reflects the future we want to build?
A lot of the times we think about machine learning, algorithms, as being the work of data scientists and of engineers. . . . There is also an important role in design for all of it, for the presentation of this information.
The future should not be self-driving. I think the best way we can put these fears and anxieties aside is to take the driver seat. Be intentional about this; be kind to one another.
