SXSW 2023
Helping People Navigate an AI World
Description:
Existing in today’s world increasingly requires AI literacy.
For people’s safety, their careers, and higher aspects of humanity, such as freedom and flourishing, there is a growing need to navigate the AI systems and other advanced technologies that pervade everyone’s lives.
We must move beyond ascribing the achievements of AI to magic, instead providing transparency and education in AI systems.
In our research and design workshops, we’ve learned how we can help teams increase AI literacy by taking a broader view on explanations. This broad view involves:
* improving explanations at the moment AI makes a decision or inference
* adding explanations throughout user journeys
* and explaining the impacts of AI outside of tech products: in user manuals, journalism, and K-12 curricula.
