Oh no! What browser was that in @VickiMcGregor?
-
Thanks for the feedback @VickiMcGregor!
-
That sounds like they some terrible design choices @PaulaRománCanivell! Doesn't sound like they did any UX research either! Interesting example.

Mick Grierson replied to Myca Roxas
'It's about innovating and being patient, looking for ideas and growing.' This sounds like a very good approach @MycaRoxas.

Mick Grierson replied to Ruggero F
This is any interesting take @RuggeroF, does anyone have a response to this line of thought?
-
These are definitely fields of research that will be expanded by the influence of AI @ImranUlhaq

Mick Grierson replied to Ova Hamer
This is an interesting and relevant analogy @OvaHamer!
-
'This is what should to happen with UX; don't just assume the best solution as we see it, consult with others to help overcome barriers to accessibility together.' Definitely an important step, well said @TashStokes!
-
'There are huge difference between smartphones and desktop screens, being the most important one the way we interact with them using a cursor or touch screen.' This is a good point @ElenaArevalo, can any else share any other differences we must consider between the two?

I think it is @EbtihalAbdelshakour.

Mick Grierson replied to Abdul Azeem
Hi @AbdulAzeem I would suggest consuming as much art, music, literature as you can and experiment with an art-form yourself. Try different things out and challenge yourself! I'm sure you will find you are more creative than you think!
-
Hi @AnayKumarMaurya for data analysis you could look into learning Scikit learn. If you're interested in research prototyping in machine learning you could try PyTorch.

Mick Grierson replied to ็HANNARONG Riginal
Hi @็HANNARONGRiginal I think these are interesting fields to incorporate AI into, but i'm sure there will also need to be new ethical and legal frameworks for this too!
-
Mick Grierson replied to Elle A
This is an interesting point to consider, and I don't think i've seen anyone else in the comments bring this up yet! What do others think of the issue raised by @ElleA 'the issue was over the use of the trained dataset, where Barrat felt that Obvious had used his set due to similarity to examples he had posted.'
-
Can anyone else suggest anything else to add to @BethanJewell-Smitham's process?
-
Wow, that's quite a story! I can't imagine market research taking place like that anymore, at least not at 10 in the morning!
-
Mick Grierson replied to [Learner left FutureLearn]
@MadhuraPrabhu That's very handy!
-
'What does functionality mean in a given context?' This is especially important when we combine it with the needs of the user.
-
Mick Grierson replied to Katie Weitzmann
Agreed @KatieWeitzmann ethics and accountability are very important when it comes to implementing AI in the field of healthcare. I should imagine the latter will require a lot of new legal framework too!

Mick Grierson replied to Cindia E
I think there's lots of interesting discussions points here. Can anyone else respond them? Do you agree with Cindia's definitions? Why/why not?

Mick Grierson replied to Einius Bubinas
Hi @EiniusBubinas what fields of research are you interested in?
-
Mick Grierson replied to Hassaanah Saban
Hi @HassaanahSaban your last sentence is very succinct, do you think there are any similarities between the extent of our creativity and that of machines?
-
Hi @FarhanaManji I like your last idea of using analogue pen and paper to help with sketching! I too find It is too easy with digital tools to get swept up in trying to maximum the output with them, this is a great way to stop that!
-
Hi @JustineRobinson what alternative methods do you regularly use?
-
'Knowing how to ask the right question is half the success.' @MartynaBielecka Knowing how to ask the right question is definitely important to consider. Concise questions can help keep the survey shorter and keep the audience more engaged too.
-
'Accessibility means that one can get into a certain setting, usability is once you are in that setting you feel able to move around and contribute effectively.' Well said @RobertWalker!
-
Mick Grierson replied to Abdul Azeem
Hi @AbdulAzeem it's interesting that you think machines cannot create, and that it just analysed the data that has been learned by the machine. Is that not what humans do too?
-
Mick Grierson replied to mahesh poola
Hi @maheshpoola is there anything demotivating you?
-
Mick Grierson replied to Muthurajan M
Hi @MuthurajanM interesting point, what makes you think the question is wrong? In answer to your question at the end yes! There was an AI research project by Facebook 2-3 years ago where it showed signs of developing its own language.
-
Mick Grierson replied to Kira Wong
Hi @KiraWong these are some interesting questions. Does the amount of influence Obvious had over the algorithm used change your opinion? How much agency over the creative decisions do you think is needed for authorship?
-
Mick Grierson replied to Richard Workman
This is a great well thought out response @RichardWorkman. I feel your last point is salient, the '...realisation of good interface is intrinsically linked to a deep understanding of your end users.'
-
This would be a great approach @KimberlyAkinduro!
-
Mick Grierson replied to Md. Abdul Hye Siddiqui
Thanks for the feedback @Md.AbdulHyeSiddiqui, I think you're right. That could be due to the internet connection.
-
Mick Grierson replied to An Huynh
'it should be appreciated when they sacrifice their time doing the survey, I think one should keep it brief.' When it comes to product, or especially website UX surveys I couldn't agree more @AnHuynh!
-
@BethanJewell-Smitham A bus timetable that only shows between 11am and 2pm?! That doesn't sound very useful at all!

Mick Grierson replied to Jay M
This is useful feedback @JayM, thanks!

Mick Grierson replied to N G
Hi @NG we will be experimenting with Wekinator in week 2 so it won't be that long before you can start seeing what they can do! Like a lot of skills/subjects coding takes patience and practice. If you have an idea of what area you want to work in it is best to see what programming language other people in that field are using, and then perhaps take a short...

Mick Grierson replied to Peter Gomes
@PeterGomes well spotted! Will change this.

Mick Grierson replied to AYODEJI OJO
Hi @AYODEJIOJO 32 bit should be supported, do you have the right version of Java installed?
-
Hi @BuphinderThapar, it would be interesting for other people to see this work. Do you have a link for it?
-
@CindiaE It would be great if you shared a link to this work!
-
Mick Grierson replied to Jon Daly
That's an interesting pre-coffee thought @JonDaly! I wonder how many other similar events have been caused by questionable interface design. Can anyone else think of any?
-
Mick Grierson replied to Harshit Raj
Hi @HarshitRaj it make take some time but Wekinator should be able to run (the application used in week 2).

Mick Grierson replied to Lida Zacharopoulou
@LidaZacharopoulou that's a fun project!

Mick Grierson replied to Ozan Atalan
Hi @OzanAtalan I think your last sentence 'Creation should not be monopolized as a cognitive human activity.' is an interest discussion point. How do other people feel about this?
