This week I had the great pleasure of joining the course on "AI Powered Design" led by @marihum.bsky.social , at Politecnico di Milano, and sharing a bit of my critical concerns around AI & Robotics. I also took the chance to celebrate my 10 years in academia and shared a bit of old pieces!

I'm planning a small trip to a Capibara cafè, I think it's great plan

My project "Participatory Design Justice for Ethical AI Transitions" has just been awarded 1.3 M € by MUR.
Soon, I'll be hiring 6 PhD students in the space of #designresearch, #HCI, #socialjustice, #participatoryAI, and #explainability. Send good people my way! ✨

Prompting AI to animate an illustration of mine. Not sure how to interpret this 😅

Today I'll share a bit of my daily conundrums with fantastic peeps at Nexa. If you are not in Turin and understand Italian, the event will also be live streamed nexa.polito.it/lunch-118/

Can you add me please? 🙏

Just to be sure I don't get to confident in life, today I gave a talk at an architecture event here in Turin. I talked about Design & AI, around tractors, window frames and white collars. I am not sure I won them with my oyster mushrooms chair.

'Designing Interactions with Robot' the book I edited with Cristina Zaga, Nazli Cila, Selma Sabanovic and Malte F. Jung, is finally in our hands. Official book launch soon! 🎉
