I watched the live directing of the Computer History Museum on YouTube, and I enjoyed this. Dr. Fei-Fei Li discussed what kind of advancements have been made with respect to AI over the years. She went on to describe AI: where it began, how we struggled along the way and now why the world is beginning to depend so heavily upon it. One of the biggest change that big data and machine learning has brought into AI space today is being real power.

One of the concepts that resonated with me was human-centered AI. According to Dr. Li, AI must be created in a manner and with values that would assist the people. Esther, she is also one of the people who think that very seriously whether AI changes individuals, communities and society. This is where it became fully clear for me that we design, we have a responsibility to society to assure tech is good for all.

She also addressed the risks of AI bias and automation of work. Which made me realize just how important it is to tread carefully when building AI systems. It is something that we must explore with the contributions of other sectors, including social sciences and humanities. This collaboration could aid us in crafting AI that is fair and beneficial.

I love watching this live talk, it makes me want to be a lot better at interaction design. I want to be a little more curated in tech and focus on where the human meets the machine. I also agree on checking up on AI and learning more whenever something new pops up. This will assist me in designing responsible and good-for-people-and-the-planet sorts of designs.
