*The Design of Socially Responsible AI:*

What we design is changing; therefore, how we design is also changing. In
this talk, I will set the context for the role of design in creating
purposeful and pragmatic technology, both historically and today. I will
then highlight some of our research showing the impact of design in
creating, developing, and deploying AI and autonomous systems, with the
goal of creating better social systems, better economic relations, and a
better world in which to live.
