Next month, Bob Schumacher, Managing Partner of Bold Insight UK, will speak at HCID Open Day, a conference run by the Centre for Human Computer Interaction Design (HCID). This year’s conference theme is ‘Design Better,’ focusing on UX designers and researchers taking responsibility for the impact of what they are designing. Schumacher will share implications near- and long-term for the role of AI on user experience (UX) research in his talk Designing Better Research with AI.

“With the explosion of generative AI models, many industries are coming face-to-face with how ChatGPT and other large-language models (LLMs) will disrupt their industries and their jobs,” said Schumacher. “UX is no exception.”

Schumacher will discuss how LLMs can be used to augment UX research, as well as the limitations of LLMs and where they cannot be trusted. He will also share his thoughts on the future of UX research in the age of AI.

HCID Open Day will take place on Wednesday 14th June 2023 at City, University of London. Schumacher will present at 12:40 BST. Visit the event website to register and learn more.
