Despite the leaps made in Narrow (weak) AI, if we look closely at the research and not just at the tech company rhetoric, the possibilities inherent within various forms of Artificial Intelligence ask us to reorient our understanding of the complexity of the human mind and realize there is much that we do not know about ourselves and especially about ‘embodied’ forms of intelligence.

Getting comfortable with ambiguity: how to be a postmodern investigative realist
If truth during an interview must be pursued, as Morris and Macdonald argue, then, I would say it’s the skill of emotional intelligence that allows for that pursuit. The art of interviewing uses emotional intelligence to infer what is being left out and to attempt to probe deeper and attempt to find a deeper meaning. This probably isn’t a controversial statement for documentary filmmakers to accept, but is difficult for qualitative researchers to concede.
I don’t enjoy delivering bad news, but... I kind of do? When I discover an issue with a product that could end up being a big deal, I do get excited because that means I’m doing valuable work. It does mean I will have to build a presentation where I argue that a feature isn’t ready for release or that people did not find the product useful at all, or that a design has massive privacy flaws or the potential for bad press…but that’s a day well-spent. It’s a challenge in service of the greater good and a greater product experience. After all, that should really be the goal for everyone involved.
