Most AI projects fail. Some fail quietly before launch; some fail spectacularly publicly, becoming another media horror story about AI. Why does this happen? Because the current process for designing AI products and services is broken, especially when it comes to product strategy—what projects to pursue. But a new approach to designing AI is possible, one that instills more cooperation between designers, PMs, data scientists, and engineers.This talk walks through a new method that has been developed over many years at Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute. This method uses elements of user-centered design and technology capabilities to find situations where moderate technical performance, high value, and low risk combine to make successful AI projects.This talk looks specifically about not just how, but also where and when AI should be deployed—and why most companies are doing AI wrong.

Leading Successfully, Through Leading Ourselves by Aaron Irizarry
The way organizations are approaching product development and emerging technologies are constantly changing. At the same time our practice as designers is evolving with new tools, techniques, and approaches, surfacing at a pace that can be hard to keep up with.
What does this mean for us as leaders of teams (big or small)? How can we lead teams in progressive orgs going through digital transformation or orgs that are slower to adapt?
By focusing on developing certain skills, disciplines, and characteristics, within ourselves as leaders, we prepare ourselves for the challenges we face when leading our teams and working with our partners. We also set ourselves up to be leaders that can coach, nurture, and elevate our teams to be best equipped for the challenges they face as they execute on their work.
In this presentation, Aaron will share insights, tools, and techniques (from personal success and failures) for growing his own leadership skills, overcoming leadership challenges, and successfully developing teams.

The Only One of Your Kind in the Room with Farai Madzima
We are solving the challenges of building and maintaining diverse teams. Slowly. As a result we find people from minority groups being the only ones of their kind in a team, project, or company. For some this is an opportunity to stand out and excel. Yet for others, particularly from under-represented minorities, it is a position of vulnerability. Being "one of a kind" stops them from bringing their whole authentic selves to work. "I'm the only ______ person here, if I say it, they won't understand." "If I say the wrong thing will they think it's because I'm a ______ person." "They only invited me because I'm a ______ person." In this talk, Farai traces his career journey from contributor to lead, during most of which he was the only one of his kind in the room. He also shares insights from interviews he's conducted with tech contributors and leaders around the world. The result is a session filled with tactics that leaders can use immediately to better understand, mentor, and sponsor the "one of a kind" folks in their teams to their full potential.
