Unlocking the full potential of language models and generative AI often feels like navigating a whimsical yet confounding Wonderland. This session infuses design thinking into AI prompt crafting. Attendees will explore how the framework guides them to:
– Assess AI strengths and user needs to identify optimal interaction points
– Transform vague requests into well-defined problem statements
– Embrace playful ideation techniques to generate nuanced prompts
– Leverage iterative feedback loops between user and AI to achieve collaborative creativity
This session embraces a hands-on approach with elements inspired by
Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Ideal for AI enthusiasts and those unfamiliar with AI, this presentation balances the technical aspects of prompt writing with an emphasis on igniting creativity.
After this session, the learner will be able to:
– Empathize with the end user and the AI tool by analyzing their needs, strengths, and limitations.
– Define a clear problem statement focused on achieving specific, measurable outcomes from the AI interaction.
– Ideate a range of creative prompts, drawing inspiration from Wonderland-like wordplay and playful constraints.
– Prototype various prompts, experimenting with different approaches to achieve the desired results.
– Test and analyze AI outputs, using design thinking’s iterative mindset to refine prompts and improve collaboration with the AI.

The transcript is from a webinar on “Down the Rabbit Hole: Design Thinking for AI” presented by Michelle Lince, a senior learning strategist at ELB Learning, and Ellen Burns Johnson, VP of the learning strategy group at ELB Learning. The webinar aimed to explore how design thinking can be applied to artificial intelligence (AI) to create more effective prompts and results.
The webinar started with an icebreaker exercise, where participants were asked to create a one-word story by building upon each other’s words, demonstrating how AI neural networks work. Michelle then discussed the importance of structured prompting in AI and how to prototype and test prompts using AI tools like Open AI’s ChatGPT.
The main topic of the webinar was designing an alternative ending for Lewis Carroll’s classic novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” using ChatGPT. The audience was asked to vote on five different prompt options, with the winning option being an alternative ending where the Mad Hatter follows Alice back to the real world.
Throughout the webinar, Michelle and Ellen provided tips and best practices for using design thinking and structured prompting with AI, including the importance of synthesizing prompts, testing and iterating, and using temperature settings to influence AI responses.
The webinar concluded with a Q&A session and an introduction to ELB Learning’s Summer of Learning program, which offers one-on-one consulting sessions and a chance to win a trip to DefCon. Overall, the webinar provided a unique and engaging look at the intersection of design thinking and AI, and how it can be applied to create more effective and innovative results.
