Google's Rules For Designers Working With AI

Google's AI research division, Google Brain, says it's on a mission to find out. On Monday, the company announced a new research program called the People AI Research initiative (PAIR for short) that's all about understanding how humans interact with machine learning. As part of that effort, the company has developed a set of best practices that its teams use to design experiences that include machine learning. It's part of a philosophy the Google UX community is calling "human-centered machine learning," where machine learning algorithms solve problems while keeping human needs and behaviors in mind. Detailed on Medium by Josh Lovejoy and Jess Holbrook, two designers in the Research and Machine Intelligence group at Google, these are Google's rules for designing with machine learning while still keeping the user–and their humanity–at the center.
