This session focuses on the questions we need to ask to create good, ethical experiences for our users.
Information Architects must push to…
- Keep people at the center of our work.
- Lead with our user’s goals.
- Ease of use, usability, findability, effectiveness, efficiency…
We must work to mature organizations approach
- Push back on “technology first” ideas.
- Lead on ethics - for our users, humanity.

Technology is Imperfect
• Data made and curated by humans
– Flawed.
– Inconsistent.
– Limited.
– Biased.
– Constantly changing.
– Messy!

Humans Teach and Monitor AI
• Water – add new information and teach (continuous)
• Thin – pluck poor performing models, bad patterns
• Prune – as AI matures, continuous monitoring, adding and
removing functionality.
• Cull – remove/stop broken/biased models.

Cognitive computers are
• Made with algorithms
• Limited domain knowledge
• Control ONLY what
we give them control of
• Aware of nuances and can
continue to learn

a lot about
something,
but not everything

Happy Spring!
• Use Case: Lawn care treatment selection.
• Users: Lawn technicians and sales people.
• Goal: More quickly and effectively customize solutions
for customers and minimize costs
(time, effort, amount of chemicals, cost to customer, etc.).
15. IA in the Age of AI: Embracing Abstraction and Change / @carologic
Hire a Consulting Firm
• Understand users, goals.
• Review existing data

22. IA in the Age of AI: Embracing Abstraction and Change / @carologic
Data Source
• Few technicians who are
great at documenting.
• Prefer using chemicals
to treat lawns.
• Limited data biased
towards chemical use.
• Most technicians, take
horrible notes.
• Prefer “all natural”
treatments.
Neither are wrong.
Limited data created a bias.
23. Only as good as data
and time spent improving it.
Biased based on what taught.
24. IA in the Age of AI: Embracing Abstraction and Change / @carologic
All data is biased - what is bias?
• Human condition - we all bring our history.
• Affected by:
– Social class, resource availability.
– Race, Gender, Sexuality.
– Culture, Theology, Tradition.
– Other factors we aren’t even aware of.

no way of knowing
when and why people

• What problems are they trying to solve?
– Is this a problem a computer can solve?
– Is AI the right solution?
– What is out of scope?
• Are they working independently or together?

• Fears lead to potential unintended consequences.
– Preparing for these will protect your users.
34. IA in the Age of AI: Embracing Abstraction and Change / @carologic
AI Management Matches Org Ecosystem

Definition: Artificial Intelligence
• Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines.
• In computer science, an ideal "intelligent" machine is a flexible rational agent that
perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success
at some goal.[1] Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a
machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human
minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".[2]
• Capabilities currently classified as AI include successfully understanding human
speech,[4] competing at a high level in strategic game systems (such as Chess
and Go[5]), self-driving cars, and interpreting complex data.

Definition: The Singularity
• If research into Strong AI produced sufficiently intelligent software, it might be able to reprogram
and improve itself. The improved software would be even better at improving itself, leading to
recursive self-improvement.[245] The new intelligence could thus increase exponentially and
dramatically surpass humans. Science fiction writer Vernor Vinge named this scenario
"singularity".[246] Technological singularity is when accelerating progress in technologies will
cause a runaway effect wherein artificial intelligence will exceed human intellectual capacity and
control, thus radically changing or even ending civilization. Because the capabilities of such an
intelligence may be impossible to comprehend, the technological singularity is an occurrence
beyond which events are unpredictable or even unfathomable.[246]
• Ray Kurzweil has used Moore's law (which describes the relentless exponential improvement in
digital technology) to calculate that desktop computers will have the same processing power as
human brains by the year 2029, and predicts that the singularity will occur in 2045.[246]
