Design at Scale Lab
Human-AI Collaboration in Design for Social Good

We can harness unprecedented amounts of data using AI, creating opportunities to tackle major societal problems in areas such as health, well-being, and mobility. To make AI useful, we need to find new ways to combine the creative power of humans with the analytical capabilities of computers. That’s why the Design at Scale Lab (D@S Lab) is developing new methods for ‘Hybrid Intelligence’ (HI) – the combination of artificial and human intelligence.

A key challenge lies in finding out how to help designers, experts and societal stakeholders work together with AI, to prepare, realise and evaluate design interventions. Our aim is to reduce design complexity for large-scale social interventions. D@S Lab research will focus on orchestrating large-scale design activities involving people, data, and machines. We will collect data on effective design interventions and investigate how to predict their impact.

Our research will establish new methods for integrating Participatory Design, Crowd Computing and AI, ultimately enabling designers to better address complex social problems.

The D@S Lab is part of the TU Delft AI Labs programme. For more information about the lab and its projects, publication, and code; visit their TU Delft page!
