More and more, intelligent systems like Copilot are becoming environments that shape human thinking, behavior, and culture. How do we design intelligence to actually benefit humanity and eventually improve the quality of human thought, protect attention, and preserve human agency?
In the video, Qian describes design in the intelligence era as moving from static interfaces to a multi-layer approach (models, memory, tools, behavior, and evaluation) to ensure that the system continuously improves and remains aligned with human needs and values, as humanistic intelligence.
At Microsoft, Qian Jiang is a Product Designer working at the intersection of intelligence, design, and human creativity. She co-designs Copilot experiences that help people think, create, and work in new ways while preserving human agency.
