What Designing With Care Taught Me About Building with Bots. Every week, it feels like a new AI tool launches. A co-pilot, a chatbot, a plugin to help you think faster or feel smarter. And I get it, there’s a lot to be excited about. But lately, I’ve found myself…
I am deeply interested in the role that humans will play in the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Yet, the majority of standard benchmarks — the ways we quantify AGI — fail to adequately measure what is differentially human. With this in mind, I’ve developed a proof-of concept benchmark for…
One of the unfortunate aspects of being a university professor in the current moment is that we have become inadvertent experts in picking out AI-generated garbage from real student work. This is necessary because the ease of access to ChatGPT and the like has meant that our classrooms are simply…
IDEAS IN BRIEF AI is turning UX upside down, and traditional design tools like Figma may not survive the shift. As AI-first systems reduce the need for UI, the role of designers must evolve beyond pixels and layouts. The real challenge? Understanding how AI reshapes user experiences and redefining what…

Between handshakes, AI panels, and a feverish haze, I dropped the ball. To those who caught it, a bit thank you for being patient. By the afternoon of March 13th, I was barely holding it together. Still, I dragged myself back to ExCeL London. A promise was a promise, especially…
You can throw the dice and have it come up 11 many times in a row. It’s not very probable but it is possible. It’s one of the harder concepts for people to understand. While there’s a feeling of normalcy, things tomorrow will be similar to the way they are today, that…

The rise of AI-powered text generators like ChatGPT, GPT-4, and Bard has introduced a new challenge for educators worldwide. Are your students secretly using AI to complete assignments? How can you…
