Page-based software design
As social designers we believe it is essential to shift our attention to fair, ethical and anxiety reducing technology. Traditional page-based software design often disrespects effort, is not outcome driven and turn us into the robots, because of the repetitive nature of features. A set of features is not an experience, and real social technology must result in mutual beneficial outcomes for all participants.

Language-model software design
What ChatGPT mainly teaches us is that there is a strong desire to get a grasp on information overload, and to make information meaningful in our daily lives. We most definitely see a role for AI/ML, but we see the following flaws with centralized AI:

1- AI, the language model kind, in its current state is centralized tech using data-set from the past.
2 – AI doesn’t help us overcome our human condition, as it does not help us organize in new ways.
3 – Doesn’t support  decentralized/distributed decision making between individuals and groups.
4 – AI does not provide empathy, nor creativity, but can play a role in strategy for desired outcomes.

Computer Assisted Human Interaction
We focus on CaHI, computer assisted human interaction, as we rather focus on technology that keeps people at the center of decision making. Let’s bring our decision-making into the network, and build software that re-connects our real and virtual worlds in meaningful ways.
