3/10/2018 2018 Design In Tech Report Computational Design: AI isn't good at inclusive design because we aren't, too 88% of designers surveyed believe that it will be at least 5 years or more until visual designers are Artificial Intelligence replaced by AI. AI can already do a lot right now. The history of AI and generating visual art goes back to the 1960s with A. Michael Noll and other artists at Bell Labs, and stretches back to Marcel Duchamp. AI is extremely proficient at tedious tasks that no human should really have to do, like: adjust image contrast, correct messy lines, and re-style images. Google is by far the leader in mixing AI with design experimentation due to the amazing talent they've acquired like Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viegas — who at IBM first advanced data visualization with their landmark Many Eyes. AI is showing us the unintended consequences of running what appear to be "fair" algorithms that feed off of past activity and practices that are converted into training data. But embedded in that training data is our long history of exclusion. 2018 Design In Tech Report | Computational Design: AI 57 / 90 http://jmmbp001.local:5757/?ckcachecontrol=1520689902#16 57/90
