The UX Design of AI Learning Group
Co-led by Isabelle Amazon-Brown, Sofie Meyer, and Sara Chamberlain, this learning group will focus on the practical, hands-on aspects of designing AI-powered tools for development and humanitarian contexts.
Whilst many current efforts touch on factors that feed into the design of AI-powered tools, we don’t currently have a dedicated space for design professionals directly involved in the day-to-day work of shaping these tools in the social sector. This learning group aims to fill that gap by creating a forum to share insights, learn from each other’s experiences, and collectively define what inclusive, human-centered AI design looks like in practice.
