As designers, we want to know how we can leverage these new AI/ML capabilities to solve problems, fulfil user needs, and create meaningful experiences. Although there's no simple 3-step process, this page provides some ideas to start spotting opportunities.
Experience design opportunities for AI might arise from a few different starting points:

Starting from data available Wondering what insights or value might be derived from existing, company-owned data - e.g. user usage data, sets of images or user-generated text.
Starting from existing applications
Interpreting the value of existing applications seen in other products / services for one's own context - e.g. recommender systems for content, anomaly detection for fraud.

Finding valuable applications and use cases for available algorithms or ML capabilities - e.g. voice sentiment analysis, psychographic personas.
