How design thinking and map sets improve AI products and services
Anyone who wants to start implementing AI within a company or process would do well to start small. Laurens Vreekamp, author of the work The Art of AI (www.artofai.nl), published at the end of May 2022, provides an overview of the different approaches that companies and organizations are using to extend their innovation process with AI.
During this VAIA Presents, Laurens Vreekamp will address the following questions:
- How do you fit AI into a creative process?
- What methods are there to introduce AI to your team or organization?
- What can you learn from creators and innovators who went before you?
From brainstorming tools for idea generation and concepting to
thinking about unintended consequences of AI; Vreekamp will discuss
practical resources such as map sets and toolkits from Stanford
University, AIxDesign and the Flemish Knowledge Center Data &
Society.
