Do you trust AI? 🤖 Katie Lee, Sr. Design Strategist, explores the universal needs that products and technology need to meet to build user trust.
AI tools and technology (Generative AI, AI agents, Conversational AI) faces a growing trust issue with consumers. Does your AI tool or feature have a trust gap? My recent work at Smart Design dives deep into this critical issue. In this article, I explore the 6 key needs your product should look to meet to gain user trust in this ever-evolving era of AI. 🤖 Illustrations by Yodai Yasunaga ✨ #AITechnology #GenerativeAI #AIAgents #TrustAndTechnology #UI #UserExperience

Catch the conclusion of Julianna Chiaramonte and Vasily Romanov's manual machining journey! 🎊 They learned plenty of lessons along the way that apply to all design work, not just machining. Their journey proves that the real value of a project is in the learning and growth along the way. Check out their conclusion below #Engineering #ManualMachining #SmartDesign
𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 As Vasily and I conclude our manual machining project, we would like to share some overarching lessons that can be applied broadly to design engineering project work, not just limited to manual machining. 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 The engineering and manufacturing processes are not linear. From project planning, concept ideation, all the way through to a product’s implementation, there is space in the process to double back, explore further, and make improvements. Unexpected roadblocks pop up along the way, regardless of initial planning and strategy. Adaptivity involves understanding when to stick to the plan and when to adjust your strategy based on new information and unexpected challenges. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 Working with manual machines means having direct control over the inputs that create the outcome. Using your senses can help you to craft not just any outcome but a more desired outcome. “Working by feel” can translate to having an intuitive understanding of the task at hand. This involves being in tune with the nuances of a project and making informed decisions based on experience and instinct. Trusting your instincts while balancing them with strategic considerations, both in manufacturing and engineering, can lead to more effective problem-solving and project management. 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 Reflecting back to my first post, my initial introduction to manual machining was 8 years ago, when I first learned how to make a paper weight cannon. Now I returned to this project as a manual machining refresher and a measure of skill development over time. This reminder of personal growth and learning is an important part of any professional journey. Time tends to smooth things out, making it a valuable practice to refresh and practice dormant skills. Reflecting on our journey, it's clear that project value is not just in the final product but in the learning and growth that come from the process. Thank you for following this process with us and thank you Smart Design for letting us use the shop resources!
