In the early twentieth century many of our digital interactions are increasingly through artificial intelligence-driven chatbots and algorithms whether we realize it or not. It makes you wonder if we're edging towards a world where Skynet and Hal 2000 are on the horizon.

With the globe's major companies all trying to make the next big breakthrough in A.I. we’re on the cusp of a paradigm shift in how we design digital interactions with human beings.

Join us for this panel discussion as we ask our panelists:

  • Just what is A.I. and what are the different types of A.I.?
  • Where should you start learning to design for A.I.?
  • What design skills will be in demand for A.I.?
  • What’s different about designing for A.I.?
  • Which A.I. platform(s) should you learn?
  • What jobs will open up for A.I.?
  • moderator
