Design AI applications that inspire trust, solve real problems, and put people first

Making AI Work for People: A Framework for Designing and Building Impactful AI-Powered Applications by Asmaa Ibrahim offers software engineers, product managers, and app designers a comprehensive framework for creating AI-powered applications that truly serve humanity. Ibrahim, Product Lead at Aleph Alpha, experienced ML team leader, AI-driven transformation expert, and leader of the team that created Gemini in Firebase, addresses the critical challenge facing today''s tech professionals: how to harness AI''s transformative potential while guaranteeing applications remain ethical, accessible, and aligned with human values.

This book explores cutting-edge innovation and provides the PRESS framework for designing human-first solutions that enhance – rather than replace – human capabilities. The PRESS framework is a systematic approach that guarantees AI-powered products are designed with five essential principles in mind: People-first design, Responsible in the core, Explainability and interpretability, Safety via benchmarking, and Sustainability and long-term impact. The author offers real-world case studies, proven development methodologies, and insights from successful AI implementations across the telecom, retail and other sectors, showing you how to navigate the complex landscape of AI integration while remaining laser-focused on user needs, trust, and ethics. The book covers everything from identifying opportunities for AI integration and measuring success with human-centered KPIs to scaling applications from MVP to production-grade systems.

Making AI Work for People also includes:

This book is essential for software engineers integrating AI into product development, product managers leading AI initiatives, and app designers creating human-AI interfaces who want to build applications that inspire trust and deliver genuine value through the PRESS framework. It''s also a must-read for executives and managers of technical teams seeking crucial insights into systematic, responsible AI development practices that drive measurable business outcomes.

​This book seeks to address the key challenges and opportunities of "future cities" embracing novel approaches and grounded technologies in pursuing a vision for smart, inclusive cities. The objective of this book is to discuss multiple areas at the local, national, and international levels and how these challenges can hinder the development objectives planned to be achieved by the cities of the future. The chapters featured in this collection were presented at the 6th Memaryat International Conference (MIC 2022), held at the Effat University, Jeddah. MIC’s objective is to build bridges between science, technology, and innovation, seen as the key levers of attaining the SDGs.

This book is a result of the 1st ARCH and DESN International Conference (previously Memaryat) Conference held at Effat university on the 8th and 9th of February 2023, and includes chapters dealing with the critical manifestation of “Man and Place” to accommodate and embrace social, economic, and environmental needs within a balanced, integrated system.

The book is groundbreaking in that it brings together some of the brightest minds in academia and industry. The book includes a diverse range of contributions from esteemed academics and practitioners and offers a unique platform for thought-provoking discussions and innovative strategies that will help shape the cities of tomorrow.

Further chapters include topics such as sustainability and creative transformations, smart cities, environmental resilience, resilient local economies, manufacturing innovations, and smart products. 

This book will be of interest to decision-makers, architects, interior designers, product designers, urban planners, urban designers, entrepreneurs, educators, and agencies.

This volume provides visionary approaches within the multi-disciplines engaged with informal settlements covering three main themes; ‘Innovative Policies and Strategies to Informal Urbanism’; ‘Production, Operation and the Life-World of Urban Space’ and finally ‘The Dynamics of Informal Settlements’. 

The book reflects multi-disciplinary experiences dealing with informality, where authors from a number of global regions present cases, practices and ideologies related to their respective context. This is elaborated through fifteen selected papers, most of which, were presented at the International conference: ARCHCAIRO 6 (the 6th International Conference), "RESPONSIVE URBANISM IN INFORMAL AREAS TOWARDS A REGIONAL AGENDA FOR HABITAT III". The conference was organized as a collaborative activity within the “Informal Urbanism Hub” of the HABITAT University Network Initiative (UNI), the Regional Office for Arab Countries, and Cairo University, aiming at reducing the gap between academia and practice.  

This book seeks to push forward the boundaries of current practices and knowledge to embrace innovative solutions, novel approaches, and grounded technologies within realistic comprehension of economic risks and environmental implications. It investigates different scales and situations, various urban forms and morphology, and various localities and totalities. The book presents a platform of recent research, findings, and answers to pressing issues of building new cities and expanding existing ones in the Middle East and Egypt, within their ecological limits, formulating images, architecture, and public spaces to create liveable, working, and productive cities.

At the time of transformation, people continue to influence their habitat and beyond. While facing the compelling challenges of the present, innovative development poses itself as an inevitable response to future demands. In socio-economic disparities and environmental crises, innovation necessitates a mode of actionto act responsibly in addressing issues in unconventional manners. The production of space becomes a responsibility towards the development of human resources, promoting their needs, capacities, and advancing a decent quality of life.
