SUMMARY:August Event | AI & UX: Redefining the Future of Design
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening exploring the impact of AI on the UX profession—where possibility meets reality. From a sharp look at a future where AI challenges the core of human-centered design to a practical guide for using AI in your daily work\, our speakers will push your thinking and offer tools you can use now. Whether you’re curious\, cautious\, or ready to dive in\, this event is for UX professionals who want to stay ahead. \nSchedule:\n5:30-5:50 PM: UXPA & Horizontal Announcements\n5:50-6:30 PM: AI Basics & UX Overlap – A Designer’s Guide | Carl Miller\n6:30-7:10 PM: UX in the Black Mirror – An Apocalyptic Future for UX Designers and Researchers (The Musical) | Jeff Rabkin\n7:10-7:30 PM: Q&A \nHybrid Event:\nHorizontal Talent | 1660 MN-100\, Suite 200\, St Louis Park\, MN 55416\nZoom link will be share via email before the event \nAI Basics & UX Overlap: A Designer’s Guide\nThis presentation aims to equip UX professionals with a foundational understanding of AI and its practical applications. Attendees will develop a deeper understanding of how AI functions\, learn about the capabilities of modern AI language models (LLMs)\, and cut through the hype to understand their limitations. \nThe session will demonstrate how AI can be leveraged as a powerful tool to augment the UX design process—from research and analysis to prototyping and optimization. Ultimately\, participants will leave with actionable steps to integrate AI into their workflows\, a deeper understanding of responsible AI-UX design\, and valuable resources for continuous learning. The goal is to spark curiosity and build confidence that anyone can open the “black box” of AI to understand more about this transformative technology. \nMeet the Speaker: Carl Miller\nCarl Miller is a UX professional known for his analytical yet creative approach to design. He has extensively explored Artificial Intelligence\, progressing from understanding foundational model concepts to implementing real-world AI applications in startup environments to augment the design process. In Carl’s UX career\, he has worked with several companies throughout the Twin Cities area and Bay Area startups\, while also serving as a UX Mentor for five years. His passion and interest in AI began with the release of Cleverbot in 2008\, marking the start of a long journey into understanding and applying artificial intelligence in design. \n  \n  \nUX in the Black Mirror: An Apocalyptic Future for UX Designers and Researchers (The Musical)\nAs AI begins to outperform humans in design speed\, personalization\, and optimization\, what becomes of the UX professional? This session explores a near-future where algorithms shape user experiences better — and cheaper — than we can\, challenging the very foundations of human-centered design. Equal parts forecast\, critique\, and creative call-to-action. \nMeet the Speaker: Jeff Rabkin\nJeff Rabkin is a creative strategist\, innovation consultant\, and advocate for harnessing the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence. As founder of Wowza\, Jeff works closely with leaders and teams to demystify AI\, turn abstract ideas into concrete realities\, and drive meaningful change. \nWith an eclectic background—including roles as a copywriter\, creative director\, educator\, organic farmer\, and cordwood mason—Jeff brings a uniquely human-centered perspective to emerging technologies. His approach blends proven innovation and design methodologies like Human-Centered Design\, Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT)\, and Permaculture with practical collaboration tools such as LEGO Serious Play and The Working Genius framework. \nJeff regularly facilitates immersive workshops\, AI-focused design sprints\, and training programs that help teams confidently explore\, experiment\, and build actionable strategies around generative AI. Jeff is committed to inspiring bold ideas\, cultivating innovation mindsets\, and empowering individuals and organizations to lead confidently in an AI-powered world. \n  \nYou must create a free account for events or you must be a member of UXPAMN. \nPlease note you must be subscribed to our emails in order to get event information.
