In this episode, we tackle the tricky balance between human creativity and AI in innovation work. We see AI as a helper, not a replacement. AI can speed up tasks and refine ideas but can't match the human ability to make subtle connections that drive innovation. We caution against hyping up AI and warn about the 'deskilling effect' - losing our skills due to too much reliance on AI. But, by using AI carefully and learning from it, we can enhance our abilities, express ideas better, and create effective solutions to our problems. We also discuss the need to share our AI experiences and learn from each other. Remember, AI is a tool, not a craftsman. Tune in to hear more!

In this episode, we're joined by Dan Silveira, who has developed a unique ethical framework for AI/ML. We focus on the six guiding lenses: Bias & Fairness, Diversity & Inclusivity, Privacy & Security, Ethical & Safe Use, Reliability & Trustworthiness, and Openness & Transparency. We discuss tools, inspired by design thinking, that fit into agile project management processes. These are especially useful in the four areas most vulnerable to bias - Discovery, Data, Experimentation, and Monitoring.

In this episode, we delve into service design, chatbots, and generative AI with Pontus Wärnestål, an expert in human-computer interaction and the author of "Designing with AI." We explore the challenges and opportunities of designing systems for the modern age, focusing on the shift from file-based structures to search and tag-based systems. Pontus highlights the importance of user research in creating effective, human-centered designs.
We also discuss the concept of "Explainable AI" (XAI), and how it can help bridge the gap between complex AI systems and non-technical users. Pontus explains the limitations of popular AI models like GPT and emphasizes the need for better communication around the truth value of AI-generated information.
The conversation looks at the ethical implications of using AI in various fields, from self-driving cars to politics. Pontus stresses the importance of human expertise and leadership, warning against the overreliance on AI-generated content. The episode highlights the powerful potential of a human-AI collaboration, where combining both entities leads to more informed decisions and better outcomes.

In this episode, David and Jacob go dark on Deep Fakes. Deepfakes, or manipulated media that convincingly impersonate real people, have rapidly emerged as a potential threat to trust. They leverage advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to create realistic-looking images, videos, or audio, making it increasingly difficult to discern between genuine and fabricated content. As deepfakes become more prevalent, the risk of misinformation, identity theft, and manipulation of public opinion grows, leaving society to grapple with the consequences.

In this episode, we talk with Drew Smith, a trained Automotive Designer with an insatiable curiosity about the points at which the worlds of the automotive industry, mobility, design practice and small-c culture intersect. We wanted to know why the autonomous car dreams we were sold in the mid 2010's haven't come to fruition. What can we learn from the slower than hoped for developments in mobility when working on automation in other fields? Perhaps most of all though - when can we expect to finally get those autonomous cars we were all promised?!!
