AI is getting better and better — at being biased.
  • The values of gender-caste-based minority have been systematically excluded from even being tallied, resulting in gender-biased or gender-invisible prior statistics.
  • Data scientists have said that there are two main ways that AI perpetuates gender bias: one is caused by Algorithmic and design flaws and the other is the reinforcement of gender stereotypes through new digital products that project a technological gender.
  • Paula Stenholm, a user experience designer at Ellos Group, gives a lot of reasons why datasets are skewed:
    • Real world patterns of health inequality and discrimination
    • Discriminatory data
    • Application injustices
    • Biased AI design and deployment practices

The People Paradox: Human Nature’s Impact on Digital Transformation

  • Customer Experience, Design, Usability, UX Education, UX Magazine

Ways human nature impacts digital transformation and how to build an affective team that will lead to a desired result with the only ingredients that are required to make it a success – people and collaboration.

Article by Ed Vinicombe
IDEAS IN BRIEF
The People Paradox: Human Nature’s Impact on Digital Transformation
  • Many organisations fail to meet their intended goal of digital transformation, because it is primarily a function of people.
  • It’s exactly when people work together collaboratively in pressured environments that we can see the dichotomous impact of human nature on large-scale initiatives like digital transformation.
  • Even though team sizes have become really bloated and organisations can fall into the intelligence trap, with the right environment and culture in place to facilitate that level of collaboration, a large group of smart, diverse people will impede an organisation’s digital transformation ambition.

When UX writers and technical writers unite, content thrives

  • Customer Experience, Design, Design Theory, Usability, UX Education, UX Magazine

6 reasons why UX and documentation teams are stronger together

 

Article by Alana Fialkoff
IDEAS IN BRIEF
When UX writers and technical writers unite, content thrives
  • No matter what position you have, creating successful end-to-end product solutions can’t happen unless you know your product from front to back — and everywhere in between.
  • When UX content designers and technical writers team up, they access superpowers like:
    • Linking to supplemental resources seamlessly within any interface.
    • Infusing our content with in-depth product awareness.
    • Unifying language across product user interfaces and the resources that document them.
    • Gaining valuable UX feedback upfront.
    • Clarifying product functionality (and writing new features understandably the first time).
    • Demonstrating the value of seamless content design.
  • Collaborating with technical writers aligns UX and empowers them to dive deeper.

Case study: Category hierarchy

  • Customer Experience, Design, Design Tools and Software, Mobile Applications, Mobile Technology, Usability, UX Magazine

Walk through the process of designing for hierarchy and learn its main challenges.

Article by Tornike Kurdadze
IDEAS IN BRIEF
Case study: Category hierarchy
  • Since choosing categories while filtering the content out can be complex and monotonous, it’s crucial to provide categories and subcategories in a visually appealing way.
  • Tornike Kurdadze, Flutter Engineer at Netguru, found a solution for the eCommerce app with multi-levels (about 5 of categories)
  • During testing and research, the author found that when creating hierarchical categories, there are several things to keep in mind:
    • Users should be able to see the path of his/her current selection
    • Users should be able to return to the parent or any descendant category easily
    • Child categories should be different from the parent one
    • Users should not have to scroll a lot
    • Users should be able to search with keywords
    • The overall interface should be smooth and intuitive

How humans understand identity

  • Behavioral Science, Design, Emotion, Human factors, Personal and Professional Development, Usability, UX Magazine

What is identity and how to define it?

Article by Nima Kamoosi
IDEAS IN BRIEF
How humans understand identity
  • This article explores the different aspects of how a typical user understands concepts related to identity.
  • In order to explicitly understand abstract terms like “identity”, Nima Kamoosi**,** Founder at Universal Identity, suggests looking closely at the following points:
    • Definitions (reiteration of the basic terms and concepts)
    • Economic activities and mental models (our mental models have evolved with significant influence from the economic activities that help sustain us and our societies)
    • Multi-identity (a person’s self-identity morphs depending on the context of the social circle or context it is embedded in)
    • Identity as a tool (identity-related artifacts and tools)
  • The ultimate goal of understanding the mental models of typical users is building intuitive identity systems and applications.
