Led by Nadia Piet, the project combined desk research, content analysis, qualitative interviews, and participatory research with 70 contributors from 28 countries. The researchers shaped the methodology and carried out the work. Rather than producing a static PDF report, the research was published as a living Miro board, an in-flux, non-linear space where research, presentation, and community contribution could exist together. We hoped this would allow people to explore the field in ways that served them, while continuing to add their own perspectives as the landscape evolved. Alongside the map, the team also hosted four Instagram Live conversations with practitioners across AI and Design, discussing motivations, ecosystems, education, and emerging career paths. The sessions became an accessible alternative to a traditional podcast format, allowing the existing AIxD community to engage in real time without requiring specialised production or distribution infrastructure.
