"Our job is to imagine a future that is hopeful." Are you interested in the difference among hope, knowledge and prediction? What do you think about our responsibility in imagining better futures? How can we use predictions better to prevent nightmarish scenarios? Interview with Frank Elavsky, an accessibility and data interaction researcher. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, epistemology, urban experimentation, AI, government as secondary to people, anarchist thinking, and many more. Frank Elavsky researches, designs, engineers, contributes to standards, and talks about things at the intersection of data work and accessibility. He considers himself a maker and a builder before anything else, but he likes to think he also does this work critically.

“We keep thinking that things are supposed to be static, but it's always changing. It's about reinvention and seeing the beauty in that.” As we've discussed throughout Season 2 of this series, we're in the midst of a challenging time for the global design industry that is causing many established design leaders to face unexpected change and uncertainty — many for the first time in their career. My guest for this episode, Jenna Date, is a pioneering design practitioner, entrepreneur, educator, consultant and executive design leader. With deep experience leading design and innovation programs in the healthcare industry, Jenna also spent a decade teaching at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. More recently she has relocated to Burlington, Vermont where I met her on a recent visit to that city.Jenna has navigated changing circumstances many times in her long career, and she brings a refreshing candor to our discussion, openly sharing the challenges and joys of professional and personal reinvention. Together we discuss the emotional strain we're seeing in many of our design leadership peers, the increased need for supportive community connections, and specific tactics for approaching mid-career job searches.

Learn more about our guest: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raelinmusuraca/ Website: https://raelin.me/ ------------------------------ We're very excited to have Professor Raelin Musuraca in this episode. With a background in interaction design, marketing, and journalism, Raelin has extensive experience in leveraging human-centered research and design methods to help companies improve their customer experience and increase revenue. She is currently an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Human-Computer Interaction Institute, and also owns her own design consulting company, Raelin Research. During her career, she has worked with various companies, helping them to develop a deep understanding of their customers through research and design. We are eager to learn more about her unique perspectives on human-centered design and customer experience. In fact, Professor Raelin was the inspiration behind this podcast program. We had lunch in March where she gave us valuable advice on networking by reaching out to professionals, professors, and TAs around us. Her words stuck with me for a long time — “People love to talk about themselves!”  ------------------------------ Topic Covered: 00:00 - Introduction 02:10 - What motivated you to start teaching at CMU after two decades of industry experience? Can you tell us more about your decision to switch career paths and what motivated you to become a professor now? 04:36 - As someone who has spent time in both industry and academia, how has your industry experience shaped your teaching approach and focus? Will you share your past industry experience/projects with the class while you are teaching?  05:33 - Why Raelin doesn't like the word “soft skill”, as those are the most important skills. Can these skills be tested in behavior questions interviews?  08:38 - Do you have any memorable moments or challenges in teaching? 10:23 - What aspect of teaching do you find the most rewarding/valuable?  11:48 - Now let's move on to the career side.

In this episode we chat to Cynthia Bennett, one of the leading voices in AI and Accessibility and Disability Studies. She's currently a researcher at Apple and a postdoctoral scholar at Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute. We discuss combatting the model of disability as deficit, how feminism and disability approaches can help democratise whose knowledge about AI is taken into consideration when we build technology, and why the people who make technology need to be representative of the people who use it. We also discuss the things that go wrong with AI that helps disabled users navigate their environment, particularly what can go wrong when using images labelled by humans. 

Western democracies and tech companies have long painted the Chinese tech sector as not only a threat to the US sector but also as operating in direct conflict with American companies. They say that China is walled off from the rest of the world, that these tech companies are just an extension of the state, and that they create and promote state surveillance and censorship tools. While China, the country, isn't completely innocent — there are clear examples of state interventions and human rights abuses — this episode's guest argues that a Western-centric framing of how the sector operates isn't quite accurate.In this episode of Big Tech, Taylor Owen speaks with Hong Shen, a systems scientist at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University and author of Alibaba: Infrastructuring Global China. Shen's research focuses on the global internet industry and the social implications of algorithmic systems, with an emphasis on China. Shen explains how China's tech sector is not walled off from the rest of the world but instead highly integrated with it. International venture capital has been flowing into the Chinese tech sector for years. And the artificial intelligence (AI) development that is popularly depicted as an “us” vs “them” arms race is in reality better described as a production chain, with Chinese companies providing the labour to develop American AI systems.

Today we’re joined by Saiph Savage, a Visiting professor at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at CMU, director of the HCI Lab at WVU, and co-director of the Civic Innovation Lab at UNAM. We caught up with Saiph during NeurIPS where she delivered an insightful invited talk “A Future of Work for the Invisible Workers in A.I.”. In our conversation with Saiph, we gain a better understanding of the “Invisible workers,” or the people doing the work of labeling for machine learning and AI systems, and some of the issues around lack of economic empowerment, emotional trauma, and other issues that arise with these jobs. We discuss ways that we can empower these workers, and push the companies that are employing these workers to do the same. Finally, we discuss Saiph’s participatory design work with rural workers in the global south. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/go/447.

It’s not just science fiction: As AI becomes more complex and prevalent, so do the ethical implications of this new technology.But don’t just take it from me – take it from Carol Smith, a leading voice in the field of UX and AI. Carol is a senior research scientist in human-machine interaction at Carnegie Mellon University’s Emerging Tech Center, a division of the school’s Software Engineering Institute. Formerly a senior researcher for Uber’s self-driving vehicle experience, Carol-who also works as an adjunct professor at the university’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute-does research on Ethical AI in her work with the US Department of Defense. Throughout her 20 years in the UX field, Carol has studied how focusing on ethics can improve user experience with AI. On today’s episode, Carol and I talked about exactly that: the intersection of user experience and artificial intelligence, what Carol’s work with the DoD has taught her, and why design matters when using machine learning and automation. Better yet, Carol gives us some specific, actionable guidance and her four principles for designing ethical AI systems. In total, we covered: “Human-machine teaming”: what Carol learned while researching how passengers would interact with autonomous cars at Uber (2:17)Why Carol focuses on the ethical implications of the user experience research she is doing (4:20)Why designing for AI is both a new endeavor and an extension of existing human-centered design principles (6:24)How knowing a user’s information needs can drive immense value in AI products (9:14)Carol explains how teams can improve their AI product by considering ethics (11:45)“Thinking through the worst-case scenarios”: Why ethics matters in AI development (14:35) and methods to include ethics early in the process (17:11)The intersection between soldiers and artificial intelligence (19:34)Making AI flexible to human oddities and complexities (25:11)How exactly diverse teams help us design better AI solutions (29:00)Carol’s four principles of designing ethical AI systems and “abusability testing” (32:01) Quotes from Today’s Episode “The craft of design-particularly for #analytics and #AI solutions-is figuring out who this customer is-your user-and exactly what amount of evidence do they need, and at what time do they need it, and the format they need it in.” – Brian “From a user experience, or human-centered design aspect, just trying to learn as much as you can about the individuals who are going to use the system is really helpful … And then beyond that, as you start to think about ethics, there are a lot of activities you can do, just speculation activities that you can do on the couch, so to speak, and think through – what is the worst thing that could happen with the system?” – Carol “[For AI, I recommend] ‘abusability testing,’ or ‘black mirror episode testing,’ where you’re really thinking through the absolute worst-case scenario because it really helps you to think about the people who could be the most impacted. And particularly people who are marginalized in society, we really want to be careful that we’re not adding to the already bad situations that they’re already facing.” – Carol, on ways to think about the ethical implications of an AI system “I think people need to be more open to doing slightly slower work […] the move fast and break things time is over. It just, it doesn’t work. Too many people do get hurt, and it’s not a good way to make things. We can make them better, slightly slower.” – Carol “The four principl

Tune into this episode for a fascinating conversation with Aaron Faucher, a product designer focused on design ethics and augmented reality. You'll hear about lessons from his path into design for augmented reality and virtual reality with clients such as High Fidelity, Alpha Computing, and Designation Labs. We'll also dig into how being a Master's student at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University builds on that experience, and where he sees his design practice going as he explores the intersection of UX design and emerging technologies. As Aaron shares, he's early in his design career, and has been working professionally in the field for a bit over two years. His first exposure to design thinking was when he was an undergrad, when his focus was on social impact. He became obsessed with the question of where the logical end point of emerging technologies is, and started looking at technology as a social issue. Since then, Aaron has been trying to situate himself in the design world around augmented reality. At one point, Aaron learned about the concept of affordance, and the idea that we live in a state of action-potential in a digital world. This felt groundbreaking to him and helped him to rationalize the hyper-connected state that many people feel themselves in. He also explores the power of getting outside of the box of his own ideas. Aaron moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in August 2016 to try to find a job there, since that's where a lot of AR and VR developments are happening. He worked on hustling and networking there, and describes the experience as a “trial by fire” that put him in his place as a designer. The process led to a couple of freelance opportunities. One thing led to another, and he has been able to work on some VR creation tools. Tune in to learn more about all these topics, as well as where Aaron sees his design career going in the future, questions that he wrestles with, the advice he would give to an undergraduate who is interested in his field, what resources he recommends to people who want to learn more, and much more!   Learn More About Today's Guest Aaron Faucher Aaron Faucher on Medium aaron.faucher@gmail.com Aaron Faucher on LinkedIn   In This Episode [02:01] — We hear a bit about Aaron's background and what brought him to where he is now.
