[Abstract]

We already interact daily with instances of AI/ML. Design challenges come with integrating AI/ML solutions into day-to-day products and services. These challenges range from typical UX problems, such as explainability and user feedback, to greater social impacts and ethical implications, such as echo chamber and bias. In this talk, I will introduce the ways to handle AI/ML as new design material, discuss the complexities of designing AI/ML interactions, and propose a human-centered design framework for positive user experience in AI/ML products.
