ARTICLE SUMMARY: There are a lot of questions when it comes to Artificial Intelligence, especially when it comes to design and anything creative.
There are designers wondering whether AI will enhance human creativity or replace it. Artificial intelligence is here to stay, and more and more designers are realizing that AI is nothing more than a tool to help enhance their design. That’s a good thing.
“Design Principles for AI” by Dan Saffer was created after he and his team examined their AI use case examples and research and realized the need for clear guidelines on how to use AI in design. Some of the key topics they focus on were:
- Understanding AI Capabilities and Limitations
- Handling AI Uncertainty
- Control and Agency
The goal of design principles is to help ensure that AI enhances human creativity and capability instead of diminishing, or worse yet, replacing it.
It’s important to have design principles for AI because they help ensure that artificial intelligence is developed and used in ways that are ethical, effective, and human-centered.
