The Thinkers on AI podcast is an extension of the Doing AI Efficiently newsletter. It showcases perspectives on AI from unique and interesting writers from around the world.
Today’s episode features the writing of Kayleigh Mann.
She writes My Field Notes, a “newsletter about user experience research, creativity, and the messy, interesting business of being human, especially inside tech.”
She spent “10 years as a UX researcher and has a master’s in human-computer interaction and two bachelor’s degrees, in history and anthropology.”
Kayleigh has been “studying why people do what they do for a long time. First it was empires and rituals. Now it’s why someone abandons a checkout flow at the last screen.”
I’m a big fan of Star Trek the Next Generation. It’s one of my favorite shows.
They have powerful all-knowing computers, but somehow always foreground the human.
In her post, “Computer?” What I Think Star Trek Got Right About AI, she shares lessons on augmentation, trust and interface design.
In this episode I read excerpts from her essay that I found particularly interesting.
The podcast Is part of the Doing AI Efficiently Operating System.
This is a five-layer platform delivering education, trend analysis, software, frameworks and courses to improve your understanding of, and ability to execute well in AI.
