Creek & River Co., Ltd. (C&R Co.) will hold a free online seminar titled 'How to Arrange UI Before Using AI - What Preparations Are Needed Not to Fail AI Design -' on Thursday, May 21, for creators active in the web industry. Please note that this seminar will be conducted entirely in English, but you can listen in Japanese through simultaneous interpretation.

AI is a wonderful tool that can dramatically speed up UI design. In some cases, designs can be shaped in a matter of hours, or even minutes. However, if AI is used without proper UI preparation, the design will not function well. If AI design is simply added to a UI that has usability issues or structural problems, the issues may worsen rather than be resolved. Therefore, C&R Co. will host a seminar focusing on 'how to arrange and review UI before introducing AI.'

The lecturer will be Mr. Jacob Nelson, who has held leadership positions in many global and local companies. He will clearly explain the concepts and processes for not failing AI design. To truly leverage AI design, how should UI be organized, and what state should it be 'prepared' in before using AI? We welcome anyone interested to participate.

<Seminar Content> - Common problems when adding AI design to existing UI - UI analysis and review methods to perform before using AI - How to distinguish 'usable/unusable parts' of AI-generated designs - Where to incorporate AI in the design process

<Recommended for> - Those who want to incorporate AI into UI design - Those who tried AI but did not achieve expected results - Those involved in improving/redesigning existing UIs - Those who want to know what to organize before using AI - Those who want to review the basics of UI/UX design again - Those who want to acquire design thinking that is applicable in the AI era
