SAIC #035 - Human-Centered UX in the Age of AI: How to Build Systems People Actually Want to Use

​Description

​Join us on June 2nd for an exclusive, deep-dive session designed for decision-makers and leaders who want to move beyond the AI hype. If you want to know how to integrate AI into your business without forcing your users to become "prompt engineers," this session is for you.

​We will explore the fascinating evolution of Human-Computer Interaction, from early Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) to today’s cutting-edge Voice AI and Live Agents. More importantly, we will bridge the gap between high-level technological vision and rapid, practical execution for traditional industries.

​What to Expect:

​- The Evolution of UX: Understand why the chatbot is just a stepping stone, and how the shift toward Voice and natural interaction will redefine your customer experience.

​- The Power of Invisible AI: Discover how to embed powerful automation and AI behind the familiar, traditional interfaces your clients already trust, eliminating user friction.

​- Agility in Legacy Industries: Learn how modern rapid prototyping shatters the old "Build vs. Buy" dilemma, allowing you to deploy custom, bespoke AI solutions in weeks rather than multi-year development cycles.

​About the speaker

​Sonya P. started in pure mathematics (topology, number theory, knot theory) and now writes the software. That background shapes how she works: break a hard problem down to first principles, then rebuild it as something that actually holds up in production. She builds backend and full-stack systems in Python, including AI applications, cloud services, data pipelines, and the deployment plumbing that keeps it all running. Her work sits where machine learning, econometrics, and systems engineering overlap. She's also a hackathon winner, and she writes about system design and the math under modern software. Mostly she likes hard problems and teams that take them on.
