Experiential Speculation in Vision-Based AI Design Education: Designing Conventional and Progressive AI Futures
Yi-Ching Janet Huang
Department of Industrial Design, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Janet Huang has been an Assistant Professor in the department of Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology since 2020. She earned her PhD in Computer Science at National Taiwan University in 2018, where her research focused on designing intelligent systems that support people to accomplish creative tasks. Currently, her research aims to explore human-AI co-learning for facilitating new ways of creativity and productivity. More specifically, she strives to design and develop novel toolkits that empower designers to become proficient with AI as design materials. These toolkits enable designers to harness the power of data, computation, and AI techniques to tackle diverse and intricate problems across various contexts.
