Course — IxD7: AI & Agents Studio, ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena, CA, 2018 - Ongoing
Created the first undergraduate design studio 7 years ago teaching students to prototype with machine learning. Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, actively transforming how humans interact with computational systems and challenging user’s traditional mental models of what a machine is fundamentally capable of. This course will look at how Interaction Designers can understand artificial intelligence and utilize machine learning workflows within their research, processes, and projects. Together we will explore AI learning models, input systems, and hand-crafted databases to discover new opportunities for design and human-computer interaction. Students will create an interface design that utilizes insights from their Technology-Centered Research outcomes and AI prototyping insights.
Teaching Team — Jenny Rodenhouse & Todd Masilko
