The World Usability Day Rome, organized by NOIS3 – Experience Design Agency, is an event that every year brings together in Rome designers, researchers, developers and communication professionals from around the world, with the mission of spreading usability practices and human-centered design principles.

In the past years, we talked about Engagement, Innovation, Sustainable UX, Inclusion, Design for Good or Evil and in the latest edition about Design for the future we want; this year we will talk about “Human-Centered AI”.

The Theme: Human-Centered AI

Computers allow us to speed up our work, improving our approach and making the most of our skills. Artificial Intelligence gives us the best possible scenarios and it’s as infinite as ever before.

There is a great desire for progress but also the fear that technology may slip out of our hands. Our mission, as designers, is to imagine the future, designing to innovate, stimulate change and create inclusion.

We design with and for people. The 2020 theme of the World Usability Day is Human-Centered AI.

Reliable, trusted and safe: these are the keywords for the artificial intelligence of the future. Together we will try to understand why.
