It might seems counter intuitive, but machines can help us make more human experiences. Generative AI can give us windows into others’ experience which can help us create a greater sense of belonging for a wider audience. Discriminative Deep Learning can provide us with the data we need to test how successful our designs are with different groupings of attendees. With AI being managed by designers leaning on empathy and creativity, your events have the chance to reach new heights.
