Jodi Forlizzi has taken an unusual path to get where she is today. With an art degree from the University of Arts in Philadelphia, she began working as a technical illustrator at the University of Pennsylvania. Transitioning into UX design as the internet expanded, she pursued a Master's in Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon University where she is now a professor. Jodi's work focuses on responsible AI and diversity in computer science. Her talk at the upcoming Designing with AI 2024 conference will explore the evolving role of AI in design processes and products. Jodi distinguishes between "designing with AI" and "designing AI," arguing the importance of designers' involvement in the entire product development lifecycle. She highlights the challenges of AI innovation, such as data availability, value generation, customer adoption, and ethical considerations and emphasizes that designers have a place in all realms of AI development. Jodi's interview offers a glimpse into the evolving landscape of AI-driven design and the pivotal role of designers in shaping its future. With a blend of historical context, personal anecdotes, and insights, she inspires designers of all stripes to embrace the challenges and opportunities presented by AI innovation.

The abundance of data available today has been described as a sea change and its own economy. Data has enabled new products, services, businesses, and economies. How can designers thrive as data-savvy innovators in this new economy? What do designers need to know about data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence? In this talk, Jodi Forlizzi draws from multiple research and development efforts to present relevant findings about how to design in a new data-driven economy.
Jodi Forlizzi is the Geschke Director of the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. She is an interaction designer and researcher by training. Her research ranges from understanding the limits of human attention to understanding how products and services evoke social behavior. When she's not teaching and mentoring students, she works on design for devices that improve quality of life for older adults and those with disabilities.
In this episode, I talk with Jodi Forlizzi from Carnegie Mellon about the ways technology and design can help us live better lives
