DesAIn – International Conference on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Contemporary Design
25 May, 2021
Online
https://design.hit.ac.il/desaign/

Deadline for abstracts: 25 March 2021

In the new and complex techno-human reality in which designers function today, the clear distinction between humans and machines that has characterized modern Western thought in the past is becoming increasingly blurred: Computer systems and code logic are embedded in the most essential characteristics of human existence, while automated machines are acquiring traits typical of living systems. Thanks to new developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), these new algorithm-based machines are no longer classified only as computational apparatus of a significant logical nature, but they also take part in fields that were previously considered unique to human beings, especially in the creative field. Therefore, the binary distinction between a thinking human-being who learns and creates, and the executive machine that optimizes and improves human activity through embedded automation systems is being undermined.… read more. “Call: DesAIn – International Conference on the impact of AI on Contemporary Design”

Call for Papers:
Special Issue of the Gerontechnology Journal: Designing Interactions for the Ageing Populations
Special issue editors: Sayan Sarcar (University of Tsukuba), Cosmin Munteanu (University of Toronto Mississauga)

We are open to receive submissions. However, papers submitted before mid-March will be considered for the first round of the review process.
First-round notification to authors: Middle of April
Revised and resubmitted version due (for the first round): End of May 2021
Special issue publication timeline: August-September 2021

This special issue advances the study and design of digital software interfaces, particularly mobile, wearable, IoT, or conversational for the aging population. The topic is timely, as we are seeing an increase in essential consumer-level technologies (e.g. online banking, social media, remote healthcare access) that have low uptake among older adults despite their benefits. Even more, emerging tech products that are marketed as helpful for older adults are not always designed with them in mind.… read more. “Call: “Designing Interactions for the Ageing Populations” issue of Gerontechnology”
