Mind the AI gap. UX keeps learning and working with AI…

#artificialintelligence

A Designer's role is to keep learning while we are working. We learn about our users, we work at closing skills gaps, we learn about designing software, we work on addressing change, we learn new AI tools, and so on. The only constant is there is always something new to learn, and we have to work because change is inevitable. If you are new to Design (UX/UI/Product/IxD), you need to watch this video with a quote by Ira Glass of This American Life. "Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste.

The Future of Text Redux

Communications of the ACM

I have written about text in its digital form in the past and I would like to revisit this topic once more. J.C.R. Licklider and Douglas Engelbart were two giants who saw non-numeric possibilities in networked computing well ahead of many others. Vannevar Bush and Ted Nelson are two others who resonated with the idea of machines that assisted in the production and discovery of information. Sir Tim Berners-Lee amplified some of these ideas with the invention of the World Wide Web. Following along this path is Frode Hegland, a protegé of the late Douglas Engelbart, who has developed new tools for the production of and interaction with text. Engelbart's oNLine System (NLS)a was a tour-de-force example of disciplined use of structure to guide the production and consumption of computer-based text.

In the movie "The Matrix," Trinity responds to Neo right before having the helicopter's maneuverability downloaded Will such a future come? The idea that technology enhances humanity has a long history. "There may be found many Mechanical Inventions to improve GUIs were tools to realize that goal. In that regard, J.C.R. Licklider's "Man-Computer Symbiosis" [12] is worth reviewing. Here, symbiosis means "living together in intimate association, or even close union, of two dissimilar organisms.
