Guest Speaker🎤
Anna Scandella, Director of User Experience @ Pocketworks Mobile
Can AI truly capture the complexity of human behaviour, or does it leave critical nuances on the table? We’ll talk about the opportunities and ethical challenges of integrating AI into user research, drawing on real-world examples from our diabetes management app, Carbs & Cals. We’ll explore how AI can scale insights and uncover patterns, but also where it falls short: missing empathy, reinforcing biases, and oversimplifying the human experience. Join us to discover why balancing AI with real user feedback is essential for designing tools that are not only effective but truly serve people’s needs.
