Interaction design education in the era of Artificial Intelligence: bringing ethics to machine learning

This joint talk and workshop by CUMULUS (Dr. Frédérique Krupa, Human Machine Design Lab director, EDNA) and IxDA (Kiat Lim, Regional coordinator for Asia, principal at kiat.sg) explores future trends in design education. Machine learning (ML), a subset of artificial intelligence, is rife with utpian and dystopian myths and magical thinking. ML remains the province of data scientists, engineers and programmers, but this hermetic workflow is clearly showing the limits of an all-technological approach. Designers are taught a wide variety of design methods to explore and understand complex contexts and systems, and this trans-disciplinary, holistic approach is precisely what makes a designer an ideal team member in the ML creation process. How do we establish methods to address sociological concerns around fairness and accuracy of big data? This workshop will introduce machine learning principles and workflows and ask participants to help develop methods for identifying bias that can creep into machine learning models.
