What happens when AI becomes more than a tool and starts shaping the interface itself? Josh Clark and Veronika Kindred of Big Medium, co-authors of Sentient Design: Crafting Intelligent Interfaces with AI , join Karen Lynch to explore a new approach to designing AI-powered experiences. They discuss treating AI as a design material, moving beyond chat-based interfaces, and creating products that adapt to users’ context and intent in real time. The conversation also examines one of AI design’s biggest challenges: trust. Josh and Veronika share approaches for building transparency, explainability, and healthy skepticism into intelligent systems. For UX researchers and insights professionals, they explain why user research becomes even more important as AI changes product development—and how researchers can take a more active role in shaping the products themselves. Key Discussion Points Moving beyond chat with AI: How sentient design uses AI as a creative design material to build intelligent, adaptive interfaces rather than simply adding chatbots or AI tools to existing products. Designing experiences that adapt in real time: How interfaces can respond to user context and intent, including dynamically generated dashboards and AI agents that work alongside users within familiar environments. Building trust into AI-powered products: Why AI’s confidence can be misleading and how transparency, explainability, visible sources, and “productive humility” can help users evaluate AI-generated outputs. Balancing AI opportunity with risk: How designers can determine where AI is appropriate, identify unacceptable risks, and build safeguards into systems where failure has meaningful consequences. The evolving role of UX research and insights: Why researchers need to participate throughout design and development—and how research findings can become direct instructions that shape how AI-powered products behave.

You might think that content and running are about as far apart from each other as they could possibly be, but our guest this week, Josh Clark, founder of Big Medium and the Couch-to-5K running program, joins us to explain how they’re more alike than we may realize. >> Big Medium >> Couch-to-5K >> Josh Clark on Twitter >> Josh Clark on LinkedIn >> Josh Clark on Instagram

Well we've accidentally done it again; we've themed the week. Somehow we've all ended up recommending podcasts with super bleak titles (but not all bleak content!). Liz recommends Aussie comedy podcast Time to Die, Zane recommends queer film deep dive podcast Dead for Filth, and Nick explores the end of the world with, well, The End of The World with Josh Clark. Then it's on to the reviews of last week's podcasts. Liz Recommends - Time To Die https://www.planetbroadcasting.com/our-shows/time-to-die/ "Time To Die is the unfunniest podcast you’ll ever subscribe to. But that’s kind of the point. Each episode we match up to two brilliant comedians and ask them to use their comedy powers to write three minutes of the worst stand up they can imagine. Then our guests swap their scripts and go out and present the stand up as if they wrote it themselves… at a real comedy club. The winner is the comic who commits to the bit and gets the most laughs!" HOSTS: BEN RUSSELL Ben Russell is a graduate of The Second City Chicago and iO Chicago. He has appeared in True Story with Hamish and Andy, SBS’ The Feed, The Project on 10, Tonightly, The Letdown and The Aaron Chen Tonight Show on ABC. You can hear Ben on podcasts Finding Drago (ABC) and the twisted sketch show The Grub with Greg Larsen and Anne Edmonds. TOM WHITTY Tom Whitty is an award-winning journalist, TV producer and musician. He’s the executive producer of Australia Talks for the ABC, the former managing editor of The Project for Network Ten, and the creator of Time To Die. He’s also obsessed with stand-up comedy. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/time-to-die/id1504187933 For Both: At time of airing, there are only three eps thanks to COVID19 hitting just as they launched but pick any episode that appeals. Nick Recommends - The End of the World with Josh Clark We humans could have a bright future ahead of us that lasts billions of years. But we have to survive the next 200 years first. Join Josh Clark of Stuff You Should Know for a 10-episode deep dive that explores the future of humanity and finds dangers we have never encountered before lurking just ahead. And if we humans are alone in the universe, if we don't survive intelligent life dies out with us too. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-end-of-the-world-with-josh-clark/id1437682381 Zane Recommends - Dead for Filth Zane loves movies, but hesitates to listen to many film podcasts, let alone recommend them, but this listener submission is one of the exceptions. From the ooky spooky mind of horror personality and screenwriter, Michael Varrati, comes the June Gloom Productions original Podcast "Dead For Filth", for all things queer horror and beyond. Dead For Filth will bring you the best queer & horror icons out of the closet and into the night to talk about the genre they love.

Phil’s guest on this episode of the IT Career Energizer podcast is Josh Clark. He is a UX designer and design leader who helps organisations build products for what’s next. Josh is the founder of Big Medium, a New York design studio specialising in future-friendly interfaces for artificial intelligence, connected devices and responsive websites. He is the author of several books and he speaks around the world about what’s next for digital interfaces. In this episode, Phil and Josh Clark talk about the need to advocate for the end-user as well as meet the needs of the business you are working for. Josh discusses the need to be persistent, but to also recognise when it is time to move on. They discuss why the next wave of I.T. innovation is going to impact the very fabric of our lives. The culture, and how vital it is for developers to make the right decisions. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (5.38) TOP CAREER TIP It is important to create a separation between you and your work. You are not your work. Remembering this helps you to cope if something you have created is not well received. The truth is that success doesn’t make you a better person, nor does failure make you a worse one. (9.00) WORST CAREER MOMENT Nearly 20 years ago, Josh created a low-cost CMS system. Around the same time, blog platforms and WordPress began to offer something very similar at no cost. That was bad enough. But, what was worse was that Josh did not let go of his project and move on. He failed to recognise that there was no longer a need or market for his paid product. As a result, he wasted a lot of time and energy and ended up damaging his sense of self. Sticking with it too long had really held him back. (13.13) CAREER HIGHLIGHT Josh´s career highlight was landing Time Inc. as his first big client. They liked the fact that, at the pitch stage, he was able to present the team to them. Being a small agency without many employees that worked by pulling together a contractor team that was tailored to each project, enabled him to do this. Time Inc. liked knowing who the team would be and the fact that every person on it had said yes because they specifically wanted to work on their project. (18.05) THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T The focus is now moving away from mobile. Now what we can do with data is more important. Machine learning is going to unleash huge change. But. It is also a risky time for society. It would be easy to get the management of all that data wrong. To a large extent, developers are the gatekeepers. (22.32) THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – Josh felt constrained, especially, creatively in his filmmaking role. So, the idea that in I.T. you could create anything really appealed. What’s the best career advice you received? – Look ahead, but make sure that you also draw satisfaction from what you are working on today. What’s the worst career advice you received? – Do what you love. If you turn the thing that you love into work, there is a risk that you will sully it. What would you do if you started your career now? – Josh is not sure where he would start. He would probably focus on honing his research and problem-solving skills, rather than on a specific tech. What are your current career objectives? – Understanding machine learning as a design material. What’s your number one non-technical skill? Being an active listener and at ease with working collaboratively. How do you keep your own career energized? – By exploring the creative process and getting to know what other people are doing. What do you do away from technology? – Josh loves going to museums. He is also passionate about running. He is the creator of Couch to 5K. (30.47) FINAL CAREER TIP Be proud
