C&R Inc. (Creek & River Co., Ltd.) will hold a free online seminar titled "How to Prepare UI Before Using AI ~What Preparations Are Needed to Prevent AI Design from Failing?~" on July 23 (Thu), targeting designers and others.

This seminar will be conducted entirely in English, but it will also be possible to listen in Japanese through simultaneous interpretation.

* You can choose between the original English or the interpretation channel.

AI is a wonderful tool that can dramatically increase the speed of UI design. In some cases, it can even bring designs to life in hours or minutes. However, AI design will not function well if the UI is not properly prepared. Adding AI-generated designs to a UI with usability or structural issues will not solve the problems; it may even exacerbate them. Therefore, C&R Inc. is holding a seminar focused on "How to prepare and review UI before introducing AI."

The seminar will be led by Jacob Nelson, who has held leadership positions at many global and local companies. He will clearly explain the mindset and processes needed to avoid AI design failures. To truly leverage AI design, how should UI be organized, and what state of "preparation" is necessary before using AI? We encourage anyone interested to join.

<Seminar Content> * Common problems that occur when adding AI design to existing UI * Methods for analyzing and reviewing UI before using AI * How to distinguish between "usable" and "unusable" parts of AI-generated designs * Where to incorporate AI into the design process

<Recommended for> * Those who want to incorporate AI into UI design * Those who have tried using AI but did not achieve the expected results * Those involved in improving or redesigning existing UI * Those who want to know what needs to be organized before using AI * Those who want to re-examine the basics of UI/UX design * Those who want to acquire design thinking that will be effective even in the AI era
