UNLEARNING THE MACHINE UNLEARNING THE MACHINE UNLEARNING THE MACHINE
UNI BRIEF
In the fast paced world of AI, each project must be approached with nuance and caution. In 2025, UTS walked us through a subject about emerging practices of design and how we as young designers can use AI in an ethical way. In the 12 months after that subject, the use and discourse of AI exploded.
The project required us to expand apon any element of the course to create a design outcome.
Inspired by “The five tests designing and evaluating AI according to Indigenous Maori principles” by Luke Munn, the publication combines images generated by Adobe Firefly and hand drawn illustration to explore the conversation between AI and human design.
I understand the irony of showcasing anti AI designs in the same portfolio of a Publication openly made in conversation with AI, but I wanted to share the project to highlight the power of reflection and adaptation as a designer.
