Designing Human-AI Teams
An AI x Culture Summit at Stanford d.school
Sat Apr 12 2025

In April 2025, I am leading and hosting the Designing Human-AI Teams: AI x Culture Summit 2025, bringing together top researchers, industry leaders, and designers to define the future of human-AI collaboration in high-stakes industries.
This invite-only summit at Stanford d.school will focus on building AI-augmented teams in law, healthcare, and finance, addressing key challenges in trust, expertise, and decision-making.
Through high-impact strategy sessions, design workshops, and case studies, we will develop actionable insights and frameworks to help organizations implement AI in ways that enhance human capabilities rather than replace them.
Why This Summit?
AI is reshaping work, but without careful design, it can erode expertise, weaken trust, and disrupt established processes. This summit will address pressing questions:
- How do we design AI-powered teams that elevate human judgment rather than replace it?
- What strategies prevent deskilling, burnout, and ethical blind spots in AI-driven work?
- How can AI improve decision-making in legal services, healthcare, and finance while ensuring compliance, accountability, and innovation?
Participants will engage in collaborative design sprints and strategy discussions, culminating in a summit report outlining practical frameworks, cross-domain patterns, and research roadmaps for advancing AI-powered teams.
Key Focus Areas
🔹 Legal AI Teams – Designing AI-augmented legal work that maintains professional standards, minimizes error, and prevents burnout.
🔹 Medical AI & Human Expertise – Ensuring AI supports clinical decision-making, safeguards patient data, and preserves apprenticeship pathways.
🔹 AI in Finance & Decision Support – Balancing automation with expert judgment to enhance accuracy, compliance, and strategic decision-making.
We will have speakers and leaders who are doing ground-breaking work in industry and academia.
This summit is a critical forum for AI leaders, designers, and industry experts to set the standards for AI-powered teams, ensuring that businesses, institutions, and professionals thrive in an AI-driven world.
