    ???? ?? AI OF THE EIGHTIES! Sentient Scenes gives me the same visual for "cylon" as it does for "knight rider." This is what AI looked like forty years ago. This is only a modest update from HAL's static glowing red eye of 1968. And then of course the Terminator's red eye. We really really really wanted AI to have red eyeballs back in the day. Now we settle for a text box.

    Researcher and Designer | Co-Author of the upcoming book Sentient Design, Rosenfeld Media, 2025

    I'm heading to Austin this weekend for SXSW, and I'd love to connect with you there! I'll be presenting two talks: Joining forces with Josh to explore the future of design and AI - where we'll dive into how machine intelligence is reshaping design practice and what that means for all of us crafting tomorrow's experiences. Speaking at AI x Journalism House 2025 (presented by Hacks/Hackers) about designing for information literacy in the age of AI - because as our information landscape transforms, so must our approach to helping people navigate it thoughtfully. If you're interested in design, AI, or journalism (or better yet, the fascinating intersections between them), I'd love to see you there! Drop me a message if you'll be around. Hope to see you in Austin! #SXSW2025 #DesignAndAI #InformationLiteracy #AIxJournalism https://lnkd.in/eBGbjW6S https://lnkd.in/e6nUu4Qs

    This thing is a ton of fun to play with. Sentient Scenes is a playful toy, but its approach points to some serious opportunities for UX and product design. Radically adaptive interfaces FTW!

    ?? Please enjoy this fun AI-powered Sentient Design demo I made. It’s a radically adaptive interface called Sentient Scenes—a UI that transforms its style, mood, and behavior in response to your prompt. Sentient Scenes features an adventurous little square as hero and protagonist. You describe a scene—anything from “underwater adventure” to “Miami Vice” to “computer glitch"—and the interface transforms in response. The square character “acts” the scene, and the scenery adapts, too: the colors, typography, mood, and behavior of the interface all shift to match whatever scenario you name. Request a ballet scene, and the square twirls gracefully. Ask for a haunted house, and it jitters nervously. Each prompt creates a unique, ephemeral scene for just that moment, completely bending to your vibe. Try it here: https://lnkd.in/eUqse9A2 Github: https://lnkd.in/eQ-AdtEg “Making of”: https://lnkd.in/eu3DwYgA This was a Big Medium side project that we made to explore and teach a few Sentient Design themes and opportunities for Big Medium’s AI product-design practice: 1. Intelligent interfaces beyond chat. Instead of creating ever more chatbots, we seek to embed intelligence within the interface itself. For this project, our goal was to create a canvas whose style, mood, and manner adapt based on user intent. Instead of an experience for talking about a scene, the experience becomes the scene you describe. 2. Personality without anthropomorphism. We’re interested in establishing presence without aping human behavior. Here, we deployed simple animation to suggest personality without pretending to be human. 3. Awareness of context and intent: More than just following commands, we want to create systems that infer what you mean. Here, the system understands your prompt’s emotional and thematic qualities—not just its literal meaning. 4. Open-ended experiences within constraints. We want to marry the open-endedness of chat within grounded experiences defined by simple technical boundaries. For this project, the result is a generator of simple scenes that feel similar but are also totally divergent. Sentient Scenes may be playful, but its possibilities are serious. If you’re intrigued, you might enjoy this write-up of how we built this thing—and how it points to emerging new process for product designers: https://lnkd.in/eu3DwYgA

    If you'll be at SXSW, come say hi! Veronika Kindred and I are giving a talk about Sentient Design on Sunday March 9. You should come! This is a talk about how AI changes digital experience: What happens when you weave intelligence into the interface? What new experiences can we create with AI and machine learning as design material? What do we gain and at what cost? What skills and perspective do product designers need to bring to this next generation? So much good and exciting stuff here—and also so many challenges and risks to navigate. This will be a packed hour of design goodness, and we're very excited to share it. And eat barbecue. More about the talk here: https://lnkd.in/evMhWMTh

    And thus the fax machine was reinvented. There’s a lot of excitement and effort going into teaching agents to use our clunky human interfaces (website gui, phone calls). I call it “the path of most resistance”: the most inefficient possible way for automated systems to talk to each other. Here, AI is taught it can hit eject from slow human-style communication to speak in machine. Modems and faxes and machine protocols ftw. Will the future be teaching AI to use human interfaces? Or designing interfaces for AI to use? Both? Or maybe just watching AI dodge our clumsy UX to find alternative paths? And then… what’s the AI-generation flavor of SEO when agents are browsing on our behalf? How will that affect the experience of the people who still use those agent-optimized experiences? If we start to treat most websites or services as informal APIs for other systems, it’s worth asking: does anyone really want to be someone else’s API? Strange incentives emerge. Lots of questions. It’s “only” a new fax machine, but it’s also a lot more. It points to a lot of weirdness and uncertainty about what’s ahead for users, for designers, for owners of information systems. Could be great! Could be terrible! Could be both at once! How do we design it with intention so it tips toward great? https://lnkd.in/eQqFAReT

    ?? We’re thrilled to announce that?Chapter 2 of our?Subatomic Design Tokens Course?is now live!?This chapter provides?74-minutes of video?diving deep into design token architecture and foundations. We cover a ton of ground, including: ? What an?MVP token system?looks like ? The three-tiered token architecture?that serves as the backbone of a sound design token system ? In-depth color systems, detailing how brand, visual, UX, and accessibility best practices are delivered through the three-tiered color token system ? In-depth typography systems, including how?composite tokens?are used to ensure related tokens always travel together ? Spacing systems?and the importance of an 8-point (or 4-point) grid ? The nuances of?border, shadow, and animation?tokens You can read more about what Chapter 2 includes here: https://lnkd.in/djqyTGaQ If any of this sounds good, we hope you consider?preordering the course here: https://lnkd.in/exDwAvMA Just listen to this great (and unsolicited!) initial feedback from people who have preordered the course: "It’s been amazing to watch your preview content and know that you’ll be addressing the code implementation side of tokens. There are plenty of resources out there talking about the basic concepts of design tokens, which I get, but having the words like code package managers, package import to target applications, npm, yarn, etc are the real important stuff to get the tokens working.?I love how you’re empowering designers like myself to be on the same playing field with the engineers so we can collaborate." Angie Badillo "From the very first finished chapter, I was?hooked. The way you break down the history, the roles, and the perspectives of both designers and developers—it’s like finally getting a?nutrient-packed meal?after years of snacking on half-baked Design Systems content.?Most other courses I’ve taken either?cater exclusively to designers?or feel like they’re built for the?1% of Design System royalty—neither of which is particularly useful when you’re just trying to build something solid." Paul Papagiannis Between that high praise and all of the great and thoughtful feedback we’ve gotten that will make the course the best it can be, we’re energized as we blast out the next chapter! We hope you consider preordering! You’ll get over 25% off the full price, receive first access to everything, and join a growing community of wonderful design tokens nerds.

    ?? Ooh! We just wrapped a (free!) three-part video series on the fundamentals of Sentient Design. Veronika Kindred and I share the form, framework, and philosophy for creating intelligent interfaces—AI-mediated experiences that are conceived in real time to match user needs and intent. The series answers this essential question: What happens when you weave intelligence into digital interfaces? Instead of thinking of AI as a tool or as a thing that “makes stuff,” consider it a design material for intelligent interfaces and radically adaptive experiences. You can watch the complete series with a free membership to the UX community of Rosenfeld Media, publisher of?the forthcoming book "Sentient Design" by Veronika and me. The series comes in three episodes: - Sentient Design, AI, and the Radically Adaptive Experience - New Postures for AI-Mediated Experiences - New Design Patterns for Sentient Design Experiences Learn more and get the links to each episode here: https://lnkd.in/eaVE_kgT

    Oh man, don't miss this. I'm doing a series of free online sessions with Veronika Kindred about Sentient Design—and how to craft the next generation of intelligent interfaces. You should totally join! The first one kicks off on Wednesday, Jan 15, at 11am ET. It's all about radically adaptive experiences—AI-mediated interfaces conceived and delivered in real time based on your context and intent. Big thanks to Rosenfeld Media, the organizer of the series, and the the publisher of our forthcoming book Sentient Design. If you're new to it: Sentient Design?describes the form, framework, and philosophy for creating intelligent interfaces that feel almost self-aware in their response to user needs. In these new experiences, the content, structure, interaction, medium, or posture—sometimes all at once—adapt on the fly to provide the right experience for the individual and the moment. These changes can be small and subtle, or big and dramatic. As you crank the “radical” dial, these experiences include: dashboards that assemble themselves into the best collection of UI elements and content; interactions and interfaces that are conceived on the spot by the user, the system, or both; and entire applications invented whole cloth for the moment. Yeah, this is not ye olde website anymore—and it's a departure from a lot of the way that people assume AI fits into digital experiences. Come learn what it means for you! It's free!
