We can now use data to create experiences that were not previously possible with the human mind alone. Designers who are crafting these new types of storytelling, commerce, marketing and product experiences are influencing many of our future behaviors. It’s sexy, but at the same time, these opportunities can seem overwhelming — designing for effective outcomes can be a challenge; and measuring impact is something that’s too often left off the task list. We believe that understanding and designing with AI is fundamental to designing the future. This course sets the foundational tone for modern designers who are seeking to get started.
