Emerging Technology within the Design Process, Examples from Across Industries

from CDFAM Computational Design Symposium · host Duann Scott

Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, NYC 2024Presentation AbstractIn a rapidly evolving technological landscape, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies into design processes is revolutionizing client experiences across various industries. This presentation explores how IDEO leverages its human-centered design approach to incorporate AI and other cutting-edge technologies into client-facing projects, enhancing innovation and driving impactful results. We’ll share stories about designing for inclusivity in XR, defining new kinds of AI-native products, bringing personality and emotion to the IoT, imagining the future of healthcare and more. We’ll also highlight our practice of building and sharing provocative, low-fidelity prototypes to explore our edges, build skills, and start conversations with the industry.Speaker BiosJenna Fizel is inspired by translating abstract information into tangible experiences. Jenna helps clients explore design questions through building with emerging tools like AI, XR, and digital fabrication. They believe these tools can provide new perspectives during the design process. Jenna leads an 80+ person internal group focused on making technical skills more accessible to IDEO’s diverse community. Previously, they were a partner at an agency designing physical/digital spaces for clients. Jenna also co-founded a fashion tech startup and served as CTO of an intimate apparel firm. With an academic background in computational geometry from MIT, they see software as a mode of thinking that solves problems through exploration.Ziyuan ‘Zoey’ Zhu is a creative technologist working at the intersection of design and emerging technology. At IDEO, a global design company committed to fostering social impact with human-centric design, she helps teams tangibly explore the future of product experience with emerging technologies, including generative AI, data visualization, and XR. She was invited to give speeches at SXSW, SF Design Week, MIT Museum, International Design Conference(IDC), Design Museum Week, NY Climate Week, etc. Ziyuan is also an affiliate researcher at MIT, leading research on integrating technology into climate education. Ziyuan holds a dual master’s degree in design study and computer science from MITCDFAM Computational Design Symposium series brings together leading experts in computational design from industry, academia and software development for two days of knowledge sharing and networking.

Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation. This knowledge exchange workshop was part of the four months Res Business Model Business Stories All advertisements are placed at the beginning of each episode, ensuring you experience Business Model without interruptions. No mid-episode advertising cuts, no breaks in our business coverage. Just press play, and let the business insights unfold uninterrupted.When entrepreneurs dream and business leaders execute, empires are built.

Have you ever doubted whether you have what it takes to share such a big, bold idea? Over our lives, we're told no so many times that many of us start to believe that we need permission to dream big and to believe our big idea is even possible or worth pursuing.We think it's time that changed. We decided to look at everything that makes us feel so amazing when we play. This includes things like safety, support, and fun. We crafted all of these elements to design an event called the Play Day Summit. On this podcast, Ideas in Play, we take the same ideas used at our event and discuss it tin the context of different careers. The goals is that we help people realize how to escape the trap of playing small in our lives and careers.
