Experts and algorithms working hand in hand: »Knowing what songs might be particularly “singable” is difficult to describe in #algorithms. [...] It’s hard to describe why, but you know it when you hear it. This is where human intuition comes in.« #ux buff.ly/41XZvui

Today, designers have their managers, product owners, developers, and other stakeholders in their working files commenting on every pixel they move as they're working. Why do we tolerate this and pretend it's collaboration? Figma sucks.

A well-researched look at how AI is seen and how it affects different industries. The quintessence of the video? There is not a perfect solution, situations are more complex than people think, and humans seem to be the main source of harm. #ai #alogrythm buff.ly/43EVviH

Mein neuer Lieblingssatz von Golem.de zum Thema Daten: Wer nicht weiß, was sie wissen möchten, für die sind alle Daten falsch. #data #datenstrategie

Excited about the acceptance of my HCII NEWS tutorial on trustworthy algorithmic systems! Looking forward to meeting at HCI International 2023 in Copenhagen this week. If you're attending the conference, let's connect, or you can reserve a spot in the tutorial.

As designers, we should plan and build for a wide range of social contexts, instead of just thinking about the intended use of a system. #design #systems #product #ux

One of the reasons, why we have to keep pushing for designing better #algorythmic #systems train and diversify teams for inclusion. It's not a matter of good will, it's part of your business success. #ai #ux #microsoft LinkedIn

When you see a pattern emerging again and again. The same people which build the systems (#Facebook, #Instagram) we have to deal with are now being brought in to form new tech (#ai) which also will have broader effect on people. openai.com/blog/openai-ac… #schade

How to create an algorithmic system people can #trust? Working on my version 1.1 of my new framework to help teams create better algorithmic systems. Bridging the gap of abstract discussions to implementation. What are you missing for your day-to-day work? #algorithm #UX #product

Looking forward to the Hatch Conference for listening to incredible colleagues from different backgrounds, but also to my class "Data Strategy to Action" in which we will explore approaches for ethical use of data of people to benefit your business. Sounds great? Join us!

»You are not hiring based on experience alone. You are hiring for the positive influence that an individual can bring an alternative point of view or just because they will ask, 'why?' of all levels.«  Could not agree more. #hiringdesign

The situation around #openai and their ceo shows clearly that the original mission to »benefits all of humanity« is now completely replaced by a standard startup mechanism and people who run these systems. …usinessinsider-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.busine…

»[...] As AI drives the cost of creating “content” to zero, the value of trusted relationships will skyrocket. [...]« besides the the tailoring to their own product in this message, there is an interesting thought here. #Trust and trustworthiness become the new currency. Chris Best

New year, new approach. I am experimenting with new channels. Mastodon seems less to work for topics of design. Now on #Bluesky 👉Thotto Wedaa Hønsi.bsky.social.

»In the deep heart of data and design burns the same flame: the search for the truth of a phenomenon.« Julie #data #design

Going through my notes and archive and always find some pearls from Julie Zhuo »Design is the act of intentionally trying to influence an outcome.«

Watching videos of the past narratives of #data and #bigata and which big promises they made and non of the #impact they could not deliver and the risks which they ignored. Similar to data which now is stored in tremendous amount, fueling the new narrative. Will #Ai be different?

We don’t click buttons. We interact with decisions. Recommendations. Filters. Flags. Design is no longer just surface work. It’s about shaping the #algorithmic systems that shape us. #algorythmicdesign #ux #productexperience medium.com/@thomasotto_/b…
