RECAP 🗓 — AIxDesign Keynote - Embrace Context: Developing a Designer's Understanding of AI (Abhay Agarwal)

We had the opportunity to host a keynote by the brilliant Abhay Agarwal who hit the nail on the head in terms of where we see the value and urgency for designers and a human-centered approach in AI development. He gave us plenty to ponder, work on, and bring back to our own practice. Watch the recap below!
