From Interface to Agency: a New Discourse for Design and AI

Treating agents as consequential actors rather than neutral tools, this symposium asks what is automated, for whom, and at what cost. We bring together adjacent fields - cybernetics, ontological design, critical making, generative design, service design, critical data studies, and STS - to articulate methods, histories, and standards for an emerging practice we call Agent Design or Design for Agentic Systems .
This one-day, invitation-only, in-person event is organized by the University of California, Berkeley’s Master of Design (MDes) faculty, and will feature three formats: individual keynotes, small panel discussions, and five-minute "lightning" talks.
