She earned a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy and religious studies from Stanford University. Join Brian and Di as they discuss the intersection of design and human-centered AI and: Why a data science leader should care about design and integrating designers during a machine-learning project, and the impacts when they do not What exactly Di does in her capacity as an emerging tech design advocate at Google and the definition of human-centered AI How design helps data science teams save money and time by elucidating the problem space and user needs The two key purposes of Google’s People + AI Research (PAIR) team What Google’s triptych methodology is and how it helps teams prevent building the wrong solution A specific example of how user research and design helped ship a Pixel 2 feature How to ensure an AI solution is human-centered when a non-tech company wants to build something but lacks a formal product manager or UX lead/resource The original goals behind the creation of Google’s People + AI Guidebook The role vocabulary plays in human-centered AI design Resources and Links Twitter: @Dqpdang Di Dang’s Website Di Dang on LinkedIn People + AI Guidebook Quotes from Today's Episode “Even within Google, I can't tell you how many times I have tech leaders, engineers who kind of cock an eyebrow at me and ask, ‘Why would design be involved when it comes to working with machine learning?’” — Di “Software applications of machine learning is a relatively nascent space and we have a lot to learn from in terms of designing for it. The People + AI Guidebook is a starting point and we want to understand what works, what doesn't, and what's missing so that we can continue to build best practices around AI product decisions together.” — Di “The key value proposition that design brings is we want to work with you to help make sure that when we're utilizing machine learning, that we're utilizing it to solve a problem for a user in a way that couldn't be done through other technologies or through heuristics or rules-based programming—that we're really using machine learning where it's most needed.” — Di “A key piece that I hear again and again from internal Google product teams and external product teams that I work with is that it's very, very easy for a lot of teams to default to a tech-first kind of mentality. It's like, ‘Oh, well you know, machine learning, should we ML this?’ That's a very common problem that we hear. So then, machine learning becomes this hammer for which everything is a nail—but if only a hammer were as easy to construct as a piece of wood and a little metal anvil kind of bit.” — Di “A lot of folks are still evolving their own mental model around what machine learning is and what it's good for. But closely in relation—because this is something that I thin

Mark Mirchandani and Michelle Casbon take over the show this week to discuss AI and the PAIR Guidebook to Human-Centered AI. Mark Mandel pops in on the interview, and Di Dang, Design Advocate at Google, talks about her role in designing and building the guidebook with the intent of helping others create quality AI projects. Di describes human-centered AI as a practice of not only being conscious of the project being built, but also considering how this AI project will impact us as humans at the end of the day. We influence machine learning so much, both intentionally and unintentionally, and it’s our job to look at the project and results as a whole. In the guidebook, topics like data bias in machine learning, what design patterns work, how to establish trust with the user, and more are addressed. Di explains that the guidebook is a work in progress that will develop with input from users and advances in technology. Di Dang Di Dang recently joined Google’s Design Relations team as a Design Advocate supporting emerging technologies such as augmented reality and machine learning. Previously, she worked as a Senior UX Designer and led the Emerging Tech group at Seattle-based digital agency POP, advising clients on how VR/AR, web/mobile, conversational UI, and machine learning could benefit their end users. With a degree in Philosophy and Religion, she considers herself an optimistic realist who is passionate about ethical design. You can find Di onstage doing improv or on Twitter @dqpdang.

Video Here's the video version of our conversation: https://youtu.be/2HyvGH7IdnY Transcript This current version is not a word-for-word transcript, just my raw notes from my first listen-through of our conversation. 0:48 "connections strategist" - evolution to this title was natural growth over 18 months at Pop - began as content strategist working on a project for Adobe - started as straightforward content strategy - quickly clear that she brought a broader perspective 2:15 Adobe product line launch - agency "quick hit" success - competitive analysis of market - how to improve 3:15 context of project in bigger Adobe site - how new product diverged from existing Adobe content 4:20 UX background - and product designer - "connections" as defined at Pop is another layer on top of those - she's a liberal arts major and generalist - has always been a generalist 6:10 reference to Jared Spool's "unicorn" talk in Seattle several years ago - importance of being a generalist but also specializing in a content strategy/UX role 7:20 understanding in aggregate who your personas are - where to find them - where client's target audience fits in client's goals - way she works as connections strategist: do the research, build out a channel connections plan, put it in market, test it 9:00 inclusion in product design, how to improve inclusivity in persona development and product design: 0. have the mindset that you are not the baseline; your customer is 1. ongoing challenge of building more inclusive personas - industry as whole figuring it out - how to make life easier/products better - often building for C-suite/Director level folks - how to leverage that learning to reach more people - we're tech savvy early adopters, able to navigate better with this tech - Di Dang and she trying to raise idea that early adopters are just one part of the market [here's a slide [[[ demographics slide Julia Copley SIC ]]] from her SIC talk deck that shows some of this data] Boomers, e.g., big market but can't reach them as you would early adopters 14:30 client work iterating on targeted demo - validate assumptions: are personas based on validated data? - e.g., recent project on luxury brand used Audience View tool [link - account required to use tool] to show to client new customer opportunities that they might want to go after - e.g. folks who not normally luxury targets but have one-time luxury event 17:45 building institutional capability of broadened awareness - "demographics are destiny" - indeed much of life set by your generation - Millennials - Gen Z - et al 19:45 demographic axes - awareness of different dimensions - slow change in racial diversity generationally - one or two percentage points per generation - but more of a mentality of expecting diversity in younger generations - social media influence on this dynamic - feels weird when you don't see diversity represented 22:50 personas in web product development - aim for fewer than 5 - can be aware of more but gotta prioritize - 3 is pretty standard in her experience - different message for each demo and in each channel - Facebook, etc. 24:20 tailoring messages for different media channel - and these messages as a content type - don't write too early - brand look, feel, and voice first and then write the tailored messages - ID who folks are, where they hang out, what are their assumptions, and then align with brand position - ALL of this in place before you write the user-facing content 26:15 campaign work vs branding work - they do both at Pop - bread and butter ...
