Summary

Lou Rosenfeld welcomes attendees from New York City to the second day of Designing with AI 2024, starting with important housekeeping information like time zone adjustments, social sharing via hashtags, and channels for help and discussion. He urges participants to reflect on their learning goals and engage actively even if they are juniors or introverted. Lou introduces key team members: Lauren Cantor, the resource librarian with a Wall Street background; Melissa Burnett who leads cohort facilitation; David Nicholson, the senior UX designer responsible for session notes; and Manuel Herrera, the sketch note artist and illustrator. He emphasizes the extensive support available including comprehensive notes, recordings, and resource lists curated by Lauren and her team. A code of conduct is highlighted to ensure a safe, welcoming environment throughout the event. Lou hands off to Uday, who remarks on weather challenges in Louisiana but remains optimistic. Uday recaps day one’s themes including chatbots, trust, and AI agency, and prepares attendees for day two’s agenda featuring case studies, demos, and panel discussions. The tone is collaborative and focused on community learning around the practical design implications of AI.
