We’ll explore the realities of creating AI products from a human-centered UX perspective: what works, what doesn’t, and Stefan's lessons learned from building numerous AI-driven experiences from the ground up.

Brandon is an expert in creative co-creation with AI. He understands both the mechanics for collaborating with AI agents, as well as the risks. The framework he has developed for co-creating innovative products with AI is insightful and useful for design leaders and practitioners, pointing to constructive ways that we can increase our creativity and become better product designers with this revolutionary new tool.

I appreciate Brandon taking time out to help our AI + UX community understand the best way forward in rapidly changing times.

The AI Bootcamp for UX Teams (https://www.strat.events) will feature Brandon helping attendee teams prototype their creation as they learn AI + UX methods and frameworks from our other expert instructors: Greg Nudelman of Sumo Logic, Mike Oren, PhD of Klaviyo, and Dave Brown of Amazon Web Services.

In this episode, Robert Checchi, the Director of Museums and Special Projects at yU+co, spoke with Paul about a very cool project that allows visitors in a public space to engage with a large digital display in real-time using reactive sensors and machine learning. Instead of a digital billboard, the display is interactive digital art, and selfie-worthy in its own right. 

In this episode, Paul spoke with Victoria Sosik, a Director of UX Research at Verizon, about the democratization of research and creating a user research program that balances quality and speed.

In this episode, Paul talks with Angel Steger, who is the Director of Product Design at Facebook. Angel spoke about the growth strategy of connecting customers to value and delivering that value in the most effective way. 

In this episode, Spotify's Colette Kolenda, a Senior User Researcher, spoke with Paul about creating a more strategic role for design research by moving it upstream in the product development lifecycle, so that research insights are positioned to help guide product strategy. 

In this episode, Netflix UX/ Product Research Manager Catalina Naranjo-Bock spoke with Paul about data-informed design strategy. We talked about how user research teams can have an impact on product strategy, and how the circle of stakeholders has grown in recent years.
