Description

Without human purpose, a computer is just a rock that we tricked into thinking—even if we add AI to it. Without human trust, we are only building novelties that won’t be used for real problems. Any team that is working on hard, meaningful, and purpose-driven problems could benefit from AI and ML, but without the right focus, you may end up building toys.

Chris Butler leads you through exercises that borrow from the principles of design thinking to help you create more impactful solutions and better team alignment. You’ll cover problem framing, ideation, empathy mapping for the machine, confusion mapping, prototyping, and research and leave with the hands-on experience you need to guide your teams and AI projects.
