AI’s real power won’t be unlocked inside the hospital walls. Its transformative potential lies in the continuous, context-rich, patient-generated data that never sets foot in a hospital—data from daily life, daily behaviors, and daily decisions. When care moves into the home—when conditions are monitored passively, when early warning signs are detected days before symptoms surface, and when interventions can be nudged in real time—AI stops being a convenience tool. It becomes a true clinical force multiplier.

What does dignity feel like in health experiences and outcomes? Why does it matter now more than ever? We’ll explore the role of dignity as a transformative force and unpack its emerging as a vital indicator of health quality, trust and connection. Dignity is reflected in how we’re treated, heard and how care is delivered. When it’s missing, the consequences are profound. As we evolve and reimagine the healthcare ecosystem so that it works better for everyone, health dignity offers a powerful lens that reveals opportunities to improve how help make health innovation real for more people.

Everyone's talking about AI agents, but what actually happens when companies deploy them to do real work? This live recording of the "Making a Mind" podcast explores the gap between how we think agentic AI should work and how it actually behaves in the wild. Cognitive scientist and podcast host Dr. Danielle Perszyk sits down with Michael Giannangeli, head of product, agentic AI for Amazon Nova, plus industry voices from Amanda Doerr, vice president of core shopping at Amazon and more who've recently launched agents into production. Together, they'll dissect real implementation stories—the successes, the surprises, and the moments where human expectations collided with AI reality. We'll explore the fundamental questions emerging as AI agents become collaborators: Where do humans want control versus autonomy? How do we build trust with systems whose reasoning we can't see? And how does cognitive science research translate into product decisions—from tool-calling architecture to the design choices that determine when agents act independently versus ask for help? This isn't a demo. It's an honest conversation about what we're learning as agentic AI moves from theory to practice—and what it reveals about both artificial and human intelligence.

Designers make screens/flows for stakeholders to review, for users to test, and for many teams to adjust until everything matches the brand. But as AI acts on human intent directly, we’ll be designing for agents. Not users. Grounded in research, this talk explores the shift to Agentic Experience (AX), moving from crafting interfaces to orchestrating outcomes with zero visual affordances. Early-career designers will snap to this new reality, late-stage folks get to skip it, but mid-career Product people have the most to lose and need to redesign themselves for the AX era.

What if we didn’t just search for alien life—but built it? Drawing from Proxima Kósmos, a research project exploring how life and intelligence might emerge under radically different conditions, this session examines the intersection of scientific experimentation and design. Claire Webb and designer Shane Griffin present Xenoterra—a modeled world inspired by evolutionary robotics and AI—that reimagines how we define life itself.

Even after the first U.S. federal streaming fraud lawsuit in 2024, fraud and anomalous behavior remain major challenges. This panel explores recent developments, how AI is shaping both the problem and the solution, and who’s most impacted. We’ll share personal anecdotes, current case studies, and a ground-level view of how streaming fraud has evolved. We’ll also discuss what’s being done now (besides yelling into the void or shaking our fists at bots)
