Software development has long demanded the skills of two types of experts. There are those interested in how a user interacts with an application. And those who write the code that makes it work. The boundary between the user experience (UX) designer and the software engineer are well established. But the advent of “human-centered artificial intelligence” is challenging traditional design paradigms.
“UX designers use their understanding of human behavior and usability principles to design graphical user interfaces. But AI is changing what interfaces look like and how they operate,” says Hariharan “Hari” Subramonyam, a research professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and a faculty fellow of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI).
