The Human Side of AI: Designing, Working, and Living in an AI-Driven World

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we design technologies, work, communicate, learn, and make decisions. As AI becomes integrated into the tools and services we use every day, understanding how intelligent technologies shape human thinking, behavior, and interaction is becoming an essential skill across every profession.

Drawing on insights from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience, this session explores the evolving relationship between humans and AI. Rather than focusing only on what AI can do, we'll examine how intelligent technologies are reshaping the way people solve problems, communicate, collaborate, create, and make decisions. Through engaging examples and real-world applications, participants will gain practical insights into how design choices influence human experience and how AI can be used to augment, rather than diminish, the uniquely human capabilities that remain essential in an AI-driven world.
