A Conversation About Design: How AI is Changing the World of UX

As the world becomes increasingly digitised and technology moves forward, the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining more and more attention. It is hard to find someone these days who hasn't heard of the new chatbot, ChatGPT! But what impact is this having on the design industry?

Join us on Thursday 23rd March as we're joined by two industry leaders as they explain how they're bridging that gap between UX and new technologies in their roles.

Who will be speaking?

Akshay Garigiparthy, Design Lead & UX Advocate at Orange

Akshay leads the design exploration of future XR, Web3 and AI products and services. Prior to Orange, Akshay was a UX designer and product owner in AI/Robotics and PropTech startups. When his mind is not on designing things for tomorrow, he is thinking about aviation and what new food recipes to experiment with.

Talk Summary: Humane design - the delicate dance between UX and Technology that unlocks magical, yet humane experiences.
