Design Article Designing AI Superpowers
The secret to designing AI superpowers isn’t starting with what AI can do—it’s starting with what humans can’t. At HP’s Design Strategy group, I discovered that our greatest breakthroughs came from embracing human limitations rather than trying to hide them.
In this session, I’ll show how confronting our own limits is the key to having AI help us exceed our previous potential. You’ll learn to reframe weaknesses as design opportunities, offset them with AI capabilities, and create experiences that make people feel superhuman. This approach has uncovered opportunities others missed, and you can apply it immediately to your own projects.
Perfect for designers, product people, and anyone ready to move beyond AI hype. You’ll leave with actionable tools to identify where AI creates genuine value and how to design experiences that give users the superpowers they didn’t know they needed.
