In a world where technology and design continue to converge, how to maintain a human-centered approach amid the wave of innovation has become a critical question for designers worldwide. As our keynote speaker we are delighted to welcome Gadi Amit, recipient of multiple awards and globally renowned designer of tech products including the groundbreaking FitBit, who draws on over two decades of practical experience to propose a unique concept of 'pro-social design’ – one that not only focuses on the interaction between humans and technology but also explores how design can reshape human relationships and social structures. He describes his studio’s work as standing on three pillars – an egalitarian studio structure, the insistence on designing for the mainstream population, and the commitment to working with technology to help shape a positive future for humanity. Gadi is also a speaker on our ‘Panel Finale’, discussing creativity and technology, on 21 September at 1530.

This roundtable discussion focuses on re-examining the role, value judgement, human-machine relationship and behavioural logic of designers in the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has long ceased to be just a tool, and has gradually become a co-creator, collaborator, and even an agent for some decisions in the design process. It frees designers from repetitive labour and is reshaping the boundaries and value of creativity. In this era dominated by generative intelligence, how can designers redefine the role of ‘human’?
1. What has AI brought to designers?
2. What ‘Human-Centred ’ or ‘User-Centred ’ design means in the AI-driven age
