AI & Design Research – STBY
Summary
We spent a some time looking into the basics of this technology development, discussing with peers in the field its implication to our practices, and trying out new tools that fit into our workflow. From talking to peers in the field and also hearing from general discussions around us, we can foresee the following: • Receiving requests for projects to focus on or include people’s perceptions and interactions with generative AI in all services. Given the nature of generative AI and its creativity, we can imagine a future where we combine force and get inspiration from the creations of AI-generated images, text, audio and video materials. Though AI tools are powerful and seem to promise a lot, we should stay critical towards our choices and stand our ground regarding ethical questions. Yet, we should not forget that new AI bases are likely to surface in the next few years as well, possibly outside the Western world, building on different neural networks, using different data for training, thus having different capabilities of handling bias, hallucinations, alignment problems and even different ethical standards.
