AI for the Masses: Building AI Products that Users Trust
Would you trust a new AI product to make critical decisions in your daily life? How about drive your kids to school?
Building an AI product isn't just about the smart technology - it's about earning trust. If we don't get trust right, users will leave, maybe for good. In this session we'll talk about how trust is gained and lost, how initial failures can impact long-term trust, the importance of clear communication to users about the system's capabilities, and the balance between automation and user control. We'll look at real-world examples and discuss the principles and the framework for creating a successful AI product.

These tools not only facilitate idea generation but also enhance thought processes and creativity, becoming collaborative partners as we conceive and develop our projects. In this workshop, we'll explore and experience several free and accessible tools. These enable us to generate and edit images for various purposes, offering control over the image's style, the flexibility to alter various parameters, and the ability to tailor content to our specific needs. Additionally, we'll delve into more advanced tools, unveiling their unique capabilities and broadening our horizons in the realm of AI-based visual content creation.
