The questions about AI in research aren't slowing down. If anything, they're getting sharper.
After Hannah Rosenfeld's episode on using AI intentionally in research, your questions kept coming in. So we brought in Hannah's co-instructor and fellow IDEO design researcher to answer them directly.
Angela Kochoska is a Design Researcher and Data Scientist at IDEO who came to design research from a PhD in astrophysics and years building machine learning models for NASA and the European Space Agency. She knows how these models actually work, and she knows where they fall short.
In this Q&A episode of the Creative Confidence Podcast, Angela answers your questions about AI tools for researchers, how to tell a real insight from an AI-generated pattern, what good prompting actually looks like, and how to keep your qualitative research human-centered as the tools keep changing.
