This unit explores how AI—especially stateful SaaS copilots and specialized/fine-tuned models—changes interaction design and UX processes. Students will examine interface patterns (full‑screen UIs, dedicated copilot surfaces), persona-driven prompt risks, and how human-centered thinking and emerging UX techniques are augmented by AI in preparation for prototyping and integration in subsequent units.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze differences between stateful and stateless AI copilots and their implications for session design, privacy, and continuity using case-study scenarios
- Apply human-centered design methods to create wireframes or low-fidelity prototypes for dedicated full-screen and copilot UI patterns that integrate AI features
- Demonstrate how to specify and evaluate specialized fine-tuned models or model configurations (including prompt/persona design) to support targeted UX tasks
- Evaluate ethical, safety, and contextual risks (e.g., persona-driven outputs like ‘depressed person’) and propose mitigation strategies and design safeguards
