Designing for intelligence augmentation: How to design products that use artificial intelligence effectively
Conversations about designing for artificial intelligence often start and end with replacing the humans, but few explore the potential of AI working alongside people to augment our intelligence. Aye Moah shares lessons learned from the design process behind Boomerang Respondable, the worlds first AI assistant that works with people to help them write better emails.

As artificial intelligence and machine learning gain momentum, we designers are tasked with designing the future—often envisioned as a world where humans are replaced by machines. However, by presuming that the role of AI is to replace humans altogether, we sell ourselves and our creativity short. Instead, we should be designing and planning for how AI and humans, working together in harmony, can accomplish things that have never been done before. The challenge is in figuring out how to pair human creativity and intuitive judgment with insight and inspiration from machine learning. As machine learning matures, there are more and more examples of human-machine hybrid solutions outperforming either one on their own. Aye Moah shares lessons learned from the design process behind Boomerang Respondable, the world’s first AI assistant that works with people to help them write better emails. Topics include:
