The People + AI Guidebook is an in-depth resource for designing AI-powered products with a focus on human-centered principles. Created by the Google PAIR (People + AI Research) team, it offers a range of methods, best practices, and real-world case studies to help product teams navigate the challenges of integrating AI into their products.
At its core, the guidebook features a series of AI design patterns, each offering practical guidance on key aspects of the design process. These patterns cover various topics, from human-centered AI design to effectively onboarding users to new AI features, explaining AI systems, creating responsible datasets, and finding the right balance between user control and automation.
The main goal of the People + AI Guidebook is to help product teams develop AI-driven experiences that are not only innovative but also sensitive to user needs, preferences, and trust. With a foundation built on extensive research, industry expertise, and real-world examples, the guidebook provides designers, developers, and product managers with the tools and insights to create AI-powered products that prioritize people first.
