# \[DS323] AI in Design
2023 Autumn
### Course Description
***“If we want technology to represent all of us, it needs to be created by all of us.”***
This course aims to build a bridge between the discipline of design and that of artificial intelligence (AI). The course covers basic concepts and frameworks of artificial intelligence and its potential and implications, including machine learning, deep learning, data, and design process. This course is intended for design students aiming to shape AI products and services within human contexts and environments, leveraging AI technology such as foundation models, vision-based intelligence, and generative design into user, business, and social value, promoting the adoption of AI in design across disciplines. By the end of this course, the students should be able to communicate and collaborate with AI scientists and engineers while developing new product or service solutions with AI. The course will include field trips depending on availability and external collaborators, and the contents are subject to change to fulfill the course objectives.
本课程的目的是建立设计与人工智能的桥梁，涵盖了人工智能的基本理论概念和应用框架，包括机器学习、深度学习、数据、人工智能产品的设计流程。学生将学习和实践人工智能赋能的产品和服务设计，充分在设计中利用人工智能技术来创造用户价值、商业价值和社会价值，其中技术包括大模型、视觉智能、生成设计等。通过本课程的学习，学生能够与人工智能科学家和工程师交流与协作，完成AI赋能产品和服务的设计与开发。本课程可根据校外合作机构相关安排等情况组织实地考察，课程内容可能会根据课程目标和实际情况调整。

### Grading Policy
1. **Form of examination**: Letter Grading
2. **Grading policy**:
* Attendance 10%: Signing the attendance sheet in class
* Final Project 70%: Only the Final Presentation is marked, but the Mid-Term review is an excellent point to make minor adjustments
* Report: in PDF and Source File (Word or Powerpoint).
* Video: demonstration of prototyping in MP4 format.
* Code, Data, and Script.
* Final Exam 20%: Open-book Exam (TBD). Further details are to be announced later.
* Short notice by the University, applicable to all 3rd year courses, first exam this year 🙁
### **Mid-Term Review on Al Meets Design**
**Submit** before *Sun Nov 05 @ 23:30* | **Present** on *Tue Nov 07 in-class*
1. **Prepare three ideas about what you would like to develop and explain each idea in one slide.**
* You are encouraged to adopt the methods taught in class, including User-centered Problem Solving, Tech-driven Opportunity Spotting, Data-driven Opportunity Spotting, as well as the AI Prompt Card Deck, for ideation.
2. **Use the Impact Matrix plot to select one idea from the three and present your analysis in one slide.**
* Plot your generated ideas on an impact matrix and assess your choice based on the Estimated User Value (Desirability and Feasibility) and the Machine Learning Investment Required (Responsibility and Viability).
3. **Use the Value Proposition Design worksheet to develop your chosen idea and present it in one slide.**
* Draft your value proposition statement and iterate it as you learn more about your user and solution. Use the Design for Happiness Deck from the Delft Institute of Positive Design to ensure you’re designing for human values and well-being.
4. **Use the Plotting Your Model worksheet to develop your concept and form a rough idea of the variables in one slide.**
* Organize your model in a flowchart to clarify the inputs, outputs, and logic required for our model to create value and investigate our assumptions and unknowns in the process. Be sure that you have access to the data as input and formulate your output.
5. **Present your slides by combining the above for Mid-Term Review and share your thoughts with the rest of the class.**
* Feel free to add slides or background information to the above slides to enrich your presentation and storytelling. While keeping the above slides is required for the review process, having further information added is always a better choice to connect to your audience.

### **Final Review on AI Meets Design with Aliyun**
**Final Review** on *Tue Dec 26 in-class* | **Submit** before *Tue Jan 02 @ 23:30*
1. **A Video Presentation**:
* Video (20%) in MP4 format + Slides in PDF and Source File (PowerPoint or Keynote)
* Make sure to reflect the AI Meets Design methods in your report
* 1280×720 is preferred for the Video, and it should be limited to 6 minutes and 55 seconds
2. **A Report with Code**:
* Report (40%) in PDF and Source File (Word or Latex) + Code (10%) in a Zip
* Use Aliyun’s Platform of Artificial Intelligence (PAI) to build the prototype with demos
* This should also be a major component of your report to explain, record, and report your prototype and demos in terms of design process and implementation details.
* Your description of the prototype should match your code.
* It should include what you have presented during Mid-Term Review, and key milestones developed after:
* Use the Confusion Matrix worksheet to map the impact of correct and false predictions.
* Use the Benchmarking worksheet to define when your models are or aren’t “good enough” to provide value to the users.
* Use the UX of AI Challenges worksheet as a design material in designing intelligent, adaptive, and (semi-) autonomous systems.
* Use the Value Polarities worksheet to capture design tension and iterate on the terms as you go to capture their essence.
* Use the Consequence Wheel worksheet by asking “if this then what” to consider various difficulties from the middle to the outer layers.
* Besides the above, similar to the Mid-Term Review, you are encouraged to add further content with an organized structure to include the above contents into a coherent report with sufficient breadth and depth.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://x.ancorasir.com/ds323/ds323-ai-in-design.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
