Abstract

This Conversation at DRS2024 in Boston, attracting around 30 participants, centered on the evolving role of design within multidisciplinary AI teams, particularly in the context of the development of clinical AI applications. As AI is entering healthcare, questions are being raised if and how designers can contribute to AI-driven clinical solutions and whether they need to develop potential other skills and responsibilities. Drawing from ongoing research and insights from various workshops and interviews, the conversation highlighted the importance of the negotiation of agency between humans and machines in clinical settings, translational design for patients, data hierarchy and its impact on design, and finally the importance of language and storytelling in framing interactions mediated by AI.
