Me, Myself & A.I.

As artificial intelligence’s capabilities continue to expand, there’s a growing anxiety that the impending AI Revolution may automate more jobs than it creates — triggering a crisis of worker displacement to rival the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. In response, I developed Me, Myself and A.I.: How I Learned to Love the Machine That Took my Job, a thesis of speculative designs that imagine near and distant futures where AI is used to increase individual agency — not diminish it. Developed in my second and final year at SVA's Products of Design MFA program (2018), these proposals and provocations address access to work and other ways to protect human dignity in an automated age.
