Here's @bigmediumjosh with a fantastic call for more nuance around how we think about machine learning and AI. These things are tools — not panaceas — and we need to discern how best to put them to work.

[Josh Clark @bigmediumjosh]

@aweyenberg As far as I know, yes! (It's also the title of a book we're writing for Rosenfeld Media.)

New talk! Sentient Design is the already-here future of intelligent interfaces—experiences that seem almost self-aware in their radically adaptive response to user need. (This is so much more—and in exciting ways so much less—than prompts & text boxes.) https://t.co/FJzBsXF8Mc

That thing when you're setting up a new account. and the system tells you your password is too strong (too long, too many special characters). Thanks for looking out for me.

So you spend five extra minutes making your password suitably weak.

Turns out snake oil is actually high in antioxidants and a potent anti-inflammatory.

Be distrustful of folks hyping any solution as a cure-all, but also don't assume that it's useless. We might just need to come at it from a new angle. (See also: A.I.)

Miami! Whatchya doing Wed night? Join me for this free talk about Sentient Design, the already-here future of intelligent interfaces. Gonna be a LIVELY but zero-hype zone… looking at what AI is *actually* good for (with a hard look at what it's not).

[Josh Clark @bigmediumjosh]

Looking forward to digging into the storytelling and metrics (the ones that ACTUALLY matter) to demonstrate business value of design systems.

It’s free and you should totally come.

Not sure how to get more headcount or budget for your design system team?

Struggling to even get buy-in to implement a design system?

Join our panel on Tues, April 30 with @bigmediumjosh, @laurenloprete & @pjonori to learn how to build the business case and tell a compelling story for design systems.

➡️ Register for the event here: https://t.co/aGohppxFoT

The event will be hosted virtually on Tues, April 30 at 9am PDT. All registrants will receive a recording of the panel later in the week.

You know design systems are a worthwhile endeavor, but you need to prove it to your executive stakeholders to get resourcing for it.

Learn how to build a compelling business case and communicate the value of design systems during our upcoming panel with @bigmediumjosh, @laurenloprete, and @pjonori.

This is a session you don't want to miss!

[Josh Clark @bigmediumjosh]

Do you have the business story down for your design system? Managing a successful design system—in fact, even getting it off the ground—requires both business savvy and good storytelling. We'll dig into it in this April 30 panel.

If you’re in Miami on May 22, I hope you'll come! You’ll discover new ways to think about AI in your personal practice—right now, today—and how it’s changing our industry and the interfaces we use every day. It’s going to be a lively evening. https://t.co/Hnr9TgYkFD

[Josh Clark @bigmediumjosh]

Excited to share this talk in Miami next month! Sentient Design is what I call the already-here future of intelligent interfaces—AI-mediated experiences that feel almost self-aware in their response to user needs. Lots of opportunities (and risks)! https://t.co/Hnr9TgYkFD

[Josh Clark @bigmediumjosh]

This is about AI... but also not. While AI and machine learning are enabling technologies, the goal is not to “make AI products.” Sentient Design lets us deliver valuable human outcomes in ways that haven’t been possible until now.

[Josh Harwood (Find me on Bluesky 🦋) @JoshDesignNz]

"You inject the design system into the very bloodstream of the whole product portfolio—as a general rule, it’s a bad idea to inject crap into the bloodstream."

So many design system takeaways from this absolute banger from @bigmediumjosh 🤟
