Exploring the Nuances of Designing (with/for) Artificial Intelligence

Niya Stoimenova,

Niya Stoimenova

Niya Stoimenova is a doctoral candidate at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. Her research focus is two-fold: (1) identifying and addressing the unintended consequences of AI-powered solutions through design and (2) the creation and implementation of organizational structures that support such behaviour. As such, she is particularly interested in the possible future roles design(ers) could play and their potential impact on society.

Rebecca Price

Rebecca Price is an assistant professor of Transition Design at Delft University of Technology, Netherlands. She works with public and private organizations to support the application of design upon complex innovation challenges. While the predominant domain of her work to date has been mobility (aviation, automotive, urban transport), her methodological research in particular holds increasing value to domains related to public health and energy transitions that stem from a socio-technical perspective of the possibilities of design.

Abstract

A fundamental shift in the way society operates is approaching driven by advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Yet, there is a comparative lack of discourse across the design discipline regarding this topic. While there are fragments of methodological readiness for designing (with/for) AI, the nuances of such need to be further explored. The aim of this article is to shed light on these and suggest a possible way forward for design that can ensure AI-powered artifacts remain safe even as their utility evolves over time.
