Product design sage Tim Wood returns to the podcast for a conversation about the deepening integrations between experience design and AI, including a dissection of the trending term “vibe coding.” Currently a design lead at Meta, Tim has hands-on experience leading AI-first design and this episode explores what that means on a tactical level. Having been the Principal Product Designer for AI Platforms at AWS, and Head of Design for Amazon Q Developer, Tim shares hot takes with Robb and Josh on what automated mainframe migration means for SaaS providers as well as the broader business community, which leads to the real-time birth of another new term: “placebo swipes.”  ---------- Support our show by supporting our sponsors!This episode is brought to you in partnership with OneReach.ai — offering turnkey private architecture for building and orchestrating your team’s AI agents with guardrails.Use any AI modelsTrusted enterprise-grade securityNo vendor lock-inDiscover more about the power of orchestrating agentic AI: https://bit.ly/4jBfVRt --------------------- Our new book is out NOW! The revised and significantly updated second edition of our bestselling book about how teams can successfully orchestrate AI agents, Age of Invisible Machines, is now available everywhere! https://a.co/d/im5rb8F#InvisibleMachines #Podcast #TechPodcast#AI #AgenticAI#AIPodcast#UXDesign #ExperienceDesign #AIDesign #UserExperience #AIAntegration #SaaS#DigitalTransformation #Coding#VibeCoding#TechTrends#EnterpriseAI#aiagents #aibooks #bestsellingbooks #aws #meta

What is the explosion of AI solutions in the marketplace doing to pillars of experience design? On this Ask Us Anything episode of Invisible Machines, Robb and Josh respond to a question from Dr. Irina Wagner,  listener who works as a generative AI UX researcher at a massive US healthcare company. The answer to her question has connections to Robb’s time working in the sound department at Warner Bros., on films ranging from Galaxy Quest to The Thin Red Line. At its core, success in UX comes down to storytelling. People love stories—give them a compelling one, and they will follow you. As adoption increases, AI is likely to expose bad design by putting a premium on effective storytelling and good taste. This episode takes a deeper look at these elements, offering a fresh perspective and some hard truths about technology and design.---------- Support our show by supporting our sponsors!This episode is brought to you in partnership with OneReach.ai—offering turnkey private architecture for building your team’s AI agents with guardrails.Use any AI modelsTrusted enterprise-grade securityNo vendor lock-inDiscover more about AI agents and how your team can build and scale them: https://bit.ly/3DCxgu8 --------------------- Our new book is on it's way! The revised and significantly updated second edition of our bestselling book about successful adoption of AI agents, Age of Invisible Machines, is now available for preorder on Amazon: https://bit.ly/4hwX0a5 #InvisibleMachines #Podcast #TechPodcast#AI #AIPodcast#UXDesign #ExperienceDesign #Storytelling #AIDesign #UserExperience #HumanCenteredDesign #TechInnovation #DesignThinking #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfAI #MachineLearning #ProductDesign #CreativeTechnology

As NASA’s longest-running Chief Administrator, Dan Goldin ushered in an era of “faster, better, cheaper” that prioritized safety while pushing the organization forward. He joins Robb and Josh to discuss his approach to innovation and kick some holes in fallacies like the iron triangle, which he calls “horsepuckey.” Goldin was at the helm of major projects, including a redesign of the International Space Station, and various Mars exploration programs. Robb and Josh dig into his profound 50/50 rule for finding team members who can move the needle on innovation without holding an organization back, which has a surprising connection to the work of Michaelangelo. In this episode:The 2nd edition of Robb and Josh’s bestselling book, Age of Invisible Machines: A Guide to Orchestrating AI Agents and Making Organizations More Self-Driving: http://bit.ly/4b7Rx7d Michelangelo’s sculptures: https://www.michelangelo.net/sculptures/ Ben R.

Active inference is a “first principles” approach to understanding behavior and the brain, framed in terms of a single imperative to minimize free energy. The free energy principle describes systems that pursue paths of least surprise, minimizing the difference between predictions based on their model of the world and their sense and associated perception. Dr. Thomas Parr is a practicing clinician and prominent researcher in the field of theoretical neuroscience and he currently works as an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow in Neurology at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences. He is also a co-author of Active Inference: The Free Energy Principle in Mind, Brain, and Behavior, written in collaboration with Giovanni Pezzulo and Karl J. Friston.In this episode, we mention:Thomas Parr’s book “Active Inference: The Free Energy Principle in Mind, Brain, and Behavior (co-written with Giovanni Pezzulo and Karl J.
