SENSUM (Office Futures)

Brief:
Office Futures is a platform for speculating on the future of workspaces through research and critical design. It seeks to understand what the future of office spaces in Mexico will be and create a series of trends and innovation methodologies that society may demand in the near future.

Intent: collaboration
Freelancers will expand more and more and the network will grow. There will also be more knowledge sharing and faster problem solving for companies. To generate projects, the work of specialists from various areas and the inclusion of technology will be needed. Thanks to the democratized global media, collaborations over the internet and networks are on the rise.

The future of workspaces is coworking. This trend has become very popular around the world but has yet to fully integrate in Mexico. Users of a Mexican coworking are easily distracted, procrastinate in extent, unproductive, etc. In recent years, Mexico has increased its productivity very little compared to other countries. It should be noted that you work long hours and have very little earnings.

Insight:
Promote innovation environments through better segmentation and use artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for planning schedules and physical spaces.
It seeks to create a collaborative network between employees based on an AI that takes into account their psychological profile and interests to promote innovation. Also humanize AI to serve as a planning and organizing tool to create increased productivity and collaboration.

Stage:
It was on March 11, 2020 when the WHO declared the COVID-19 disease a pandemic and from this event the world was never the same again.
Today, November 27, 2030, we can see that this event was the trigger for the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in our work areas, creating a segmentation based on profession and not on interests. More and more machines are acquiring knowledge and becoming autonomous. Many researchers predict that AI will exceed human performance in various activities by 2031 and a 50% chance that by 2061 this improvement will be total.
Therefore, work areas such as engineering, health, business and design have become centralized, causing workers to lose the notion of the existence and importance of the other areas with which they do not maintain communication.
In addition to social distancing and decreased physical workforce in the office, they created an environment that hampers collaboration and innovation to this day. All this has consequently caused a technological, political, economic and social stagnation. Unfortunately, the automation of data transfer through AI between different areas has caused a lack of humanization of work and consequently monotonous tasks without the need for interaction between workers.
The future of the office will no longer be decided by humans, instead it is a harmony between Artificial Intelligence and us to be able to make the correct and necessary decisions in the work area. This inevitably leads us to lose part of the control we have over our spaces, handing it over to Artificial Intelligence and making the physical space become an extension of it.

Re-brief:
A product for personal use will be designed that seeks to humanize artificial intelligence taking into account the psychological profile and interests of the user to create a better organization of times and spaces. In addition, segmentation will be improved by creating an increase in productivity and innovation not only in the labor field, but also in society.
