The AI-Encrypted Voice UI System Detecting Fake News
The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized industries and daily life, but it has also led to unintended consequences.
A critical concern arises from the surging AI-driven fake news, which not only undermines the technology's intended empowerment but also raises the specter of political propaganda generation.
How can we design a tool that filters falsehoods while still ensuring we stay informed and ahed?

Winning the ConFig 2023 scholarship was a game-changer, granting me access to the world's largest design conference. The talk "Design at the speed of news" left a deep impression, emphasizing the importance of freedom of speech and access to information.
As a Turkish citizen, I was forcefully discouraged from advocating for journalism due to the high journalist imprisonment rate driven by political propaganda. Nonetheless, news articles are vital in shaping our interconnectedness and perception of reality, making their protection essential.
Later, during my journey, I had the opportunity to meet Raefer Gabriel, the Senior Manager of AI Software Development and Head of Engineering for Conversational AI at Amazon during the groundbreaking launch of Alexa. Engaging with him provided an invaluable glimpse into the development of Alexa and the world of AI.
Raefer shared profound insights into the challenges they faced, the strategies they employed, and the relentless pursuit of innovation that powered Alexa's success. This encounter sparked a profound question in my mind: How can we leverage the potential of AI to address pressing issues and solve real-world problems?

Currently, these efforts aren't aimed at showcasing my design progression and abilities; they're an individual passion endeavor. Desired to exhibit snippets!
How about an AI powered Voice UI system (INFOA) that works tirelessly to ensure every detail you digest is legitimate, so you can confidently stride ahead knowing the truth?
Limited Regulation
The rapid advancement of AI has outpaced the establishment of robust regulatory frameworks. As a result, the dissemination of fake news through AI has thrived in an environment where accountability measures are lagging behind
Hyper-Personalization
AI algorithms understand user preferences, leading to personalized content, but this can create filter bubbles and echo chambers. Users are exposed only to information that aligns with their beliefs, reinforcing misinformation and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives.
AI-Generated Content
AI technologies, like GPT-3, excel at generating human-like text, offering various benefits. However, they also enable sophisticated AI-generated fake news, making it harder to discern truth from fiction, as malicious actors create persuasive yet entirely fabricated stories.

A new immersive social world
The Problem (Meta Prompt)
The year 2028 has arrived, and in this world, besieged by increased pandemics and climate change catastrophes, individuals are taking refuge in their homes more than ever before, depending on technology to maintain connections during extended periods of social distancing.
As time passes, FaceTime and social media no longer suffice for individuals to feel connected to their loved ones and interests.
A yearning for a revitalized social atmosphere to return is widespread. Simultaneously, people desire an easily accessible encounter, right from their personal living areas.
Creating an immersive social environment resembling a coffee shop, where users can interact with various members while seamlessly working on their desktops in VR/XR.

Watercolor Feature
Someone can invite you into a room and hangout while working from home (like stepping out in the hallway)
Someone can “pop” into your room and call you out to talk (similar to a real life experience)
Coffee Shop Partnerships
As users enter the coffee shop, they'll experience an interactive simulation, enjoying coffee and socializing. Partnering with Starbucks and Peets, we'll implement a rewarding system, syncing real-life coffee orders with the virtual world instantly.

Advised video experience is with a VR headset (like Quest 2 via YouTubeVR). For 2D non-headset viewing, you can look around (via mouse dragging) and zoom in and out (via double touch) in Full Screen.
Recognizing the contemporary innovation and prominence of AI, along with its transformative impact on nearly every sector, I am dedicated to employing AI as an instrumental part of my designing approach and staying informed on various design trends via newsletters, conferences, and cutting-edge products. As technologies like AI and VR become increasingly integrated into our everyday lives, it's essential to consider their societal implications and emphasize user research for informed decision-making.
