Three books that together nicely capture what Sara Colombo and I are teaching in our TU Delft industrial design engineering master elective, "Designing Responsible AI."

Three books: The Manual of Design Fiction (Bleecker et al., 2022), Value Sensitive Design (Friedman & Hendry, 2019), and Responsible Artificial Intelligence (Dignum, 2019).

Very much looking forward to contributing to the Design and AI Symposium at the Dutch Design Week. Iohanna Nicenboim, Jesse Benjamin, and I will explore "Evolving Perspectives on AI and Design" in what I am sure will be a thought-provoking panel discussion. designandai.nl#/activities/...

Lovely write-up of Fabian Geiser's graduation project, wherein he explored the potential of AI to facilitate participatory road use policy development through an ingenious combination of design futuring and strategy. It was a pleasure to act as a mentor on this one. www.tudelft.nl/en/ide/delft...

Contributing to this panel today at Lawtomation Days was a pleasure. We had a fascinating discussion about the many translations of knowledge between fields that are needed to do law and technology research well. As usual, my slides are up on my site. contestable.ai/presentations/

Heading to Madrid next week to attend Lawtomation Days and speak on a panel chaired by Kostina Prifti on interdisciplinary methods in law & technology research. (Yes, I will be the token design researcher as usual.) Looking forward to it. lawtomation.ie.edu/news-events/...

Had a blast running my contestability workshop at the ThingsCon Salon yesterday. Lovely participants, stimulating discussions, and interesting new design ideas. All good stuff.

A table littered with pens, papers, infographic posters, chargers, etc. People are drawing design ideas for contestable public AI systems on big sheets of paper.
