Unleashing Creativity: Real-World AI Techniques from CRZY Design Studio

Explore our dual-track AI journey: how we're embedding AI capabilities to enhance the products we build, while simultaneously leveraging it to transform our internal workflows processes. This session will examine the parallel paths of customer-facing AI innovation and behind-the-scenes operational excellence.

The explosive rise of generativeAI has captivated our collective imaginations. It also has us wondering, how will it become a part of the way we live and work? How do we start participating in this grand experiment with a transformative new technology? After two decades of sophisticated advances in interface design, how did we end up back at a command line AGAIN? In this talk we will cover the following: 1. When are we in the trajectory of this AI transformation? A brief timeline of artificial and natural intelligences, and their intertwined discoveries. 2. Where do we begin to explore and apply AI to our products and services? When to play with AI and when to productize it. And maybe a few don’ts. 3. How do we evolve the way we create new products and experience? New ways of working with AI. Learn what AI means to you and chart a course for yourself with it through this new period of emerging possibility and opportunity.
