Back to Human: AI’s Journey from Code to Cuddles
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), we stand at a crossroads that demands a pivotal shift in our approach. The current trend in the tech industry, particularly in Silicon Valley, is integrating AI into existing products, creating incremental innovations. However, to truly harness the revolutionary potential of AI, we must return to human beings’ core needs and behaviors, forging new and disruptive “channels” for AI applications. AI must become touchy-feely!
Designing for Human Experiences and Needs
Incorporating AI into existing products is important, but understanding and tapping into the fundamental human experiences and needs is crucial for truly transformative AI applications. Utilizing ‘Design Fiction’ to project ourselves into the future and working backward creates a roadmap from futuristic usages to current products.
Scientific Advancements and Usability Enhancement
Organizations like DeepMind, Google Research, FAIR, OpenAI, and Nvidia have laid the groundwork with their scientific advancements in AI. The next step involves embedding AI into current products to enhance usability and identifying disruptive usages that align with the technology’s capabilities.
Identifying Disruptive Usages through Inspiration
To identify disruptive usages, we should explore realms of science fiction and movies. Companies like Rewind AI are exploring concepts that allow users to revisit and recall their life’s moments with exceptional clarity and detail, akin to the fictional ‘Limitless’ pill. Embracing lightweight yet potent AI models like Gemini Nano brings AI closer to being an integral, seamless part of our everyday existence.
Unlocking the True Potential of AI
The future of AI lies in creating new products that resonate with human instincts and needs. By drawing inspiration from design fiction and understanding human behavior, we can develop AI applications deeply aligned with our natural tendencies and desires, paving the way for a future where AI is not just a tool but an extension of our human experience.
