Identifying Stakeholders
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we’re discussing the 'Who' in AI problem scoping. Can anyone tell me why identifying stakeholders is important?
I think it's important to know who will be affected by the project.
Exactly! Identifying stakeholders helps us understand who is impacted by the problem and who will eventually benefit from the solution. Can someone give me an example of a stakeholder in an AI project?
What about the users? They are definitely stakeholders.
Correct! Users are key stakeholders. Let’s remember: `U-B-E` - Users, Beneficiaries, and Everyone else involved. Who can tell me why it's vital to have all stakeholders engaged?
Engaged stakeholders can provide insights that shape the project to meet real needs.
Exactly! Engaging stakeholders leads to more effective AI solutions.
Consequences of Ignoring Stakeholders
Unlock Audio Lesson
What happens if we fail to identify key stakeholders?
I guess the project might miss important needs?
That's correct! When we overlook stakeholders, we risk creating solutions that don't meet the users’ needs. Let's create a mnemonic to remember! How about `P-A-I-D`: Potential Awkwardness If Data isn't aligned with users!
That's funny and easy to remember!
Good! It’s essential we survey stakeholders early to validate our AI approach.
Who Benefits?
Unlock Audio Lesson
Can anyone tell me why knowing who benefits from our AI solution is important?
So we can tailor the solution to meet their needs?
Exactly! When we identify who reaps the benefits, we focus our design to ensure the solution is effective. Let’s form an acronym: `B-E-S-T` - Benefits Enrichment Stakeholders Together!
That's a great way to remember.
By understanding our beneficiaries, we define success criteria appropriate for the solution.
Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview
Standard
The section highlights the importance of recognizing stakeholders in problem scoping, detailing who is affected by the problem and who benefits from AI solutions. Understanding these aspects helps clarify project goals and the overall impact of the solution.
Detailed
Who: Understanding Stakeholders in AI
In this section, we delve into the significance of identifying stakeholders during the problem scoping phase of AI projects. Recognizing the 'Who' involves understanding three critical aspects:
- Who are the stakeholders? Identifying all relevant parties, including users, clients, and others impacted by the AI solution.
- Who is affected by the problem? Understanding the individuals or groups that experience the problem directly.
- Who will benefit from the solution? Establishing who stands to gain from a successful AI implementation ensures alignment of the project with user needs.
These insights help to define the problem's scope clearly, avoid working on vague issues, ensure stakeholder engagement, and align solutions with real-world needs.

• Who are the stakeholders?
Detailed Explanation
In problem scoping, identifying stakeholders is crucial. Stakeholders are individuals or groups who have an interest in the problem or the solution that will address it. This includes anyone who will be affected directly or indirectly by the outcomes of the project. Understanding who they are helps ensure their needs and perspectives are considered in the development of the AI solution.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a school implementing a new homework tracking system. The stakeholders would be teachers, students, parents, and school administrators. Each group has different needs: teachers want ease of use, students want efficiency, and parents want transparency. By identifying all these stakeholders, the school can create a more effective solution.

• Who is affected by the problem?
Detailed Explanation
Understanding who is affected by the problem involves identifying the individuals or groups who experience the impact of the issue firsthand. This goes beyond just knowing who the stakeholders are; it requires insight into how their day-to-day lives are influenced by the problem. This information helps in tailoring the AI solution to meet the specific needs of those affected.
Examples & Analogies
If a city is dealing with traffic congestion, the affected parties include commuters, public transport users, business owners, and residents living near busy roads. By recognizing these groups, city planners can create solutions that alleviate traffic in a way that considers the unique context and needs of each affected group.
Identifying Beneficiaries

• Who will benefit from the solution?
Detailed Explanation
This point focuses on understanding who will gain advantages from the AI solution once it is implemented. Identifying the beneficiaries helps define the goals of the project and can drive motivation among stakeholders. Knowing who will benefit supports prioritizing features that directly address their needs.
Examples & Analogies
In a healthcare context, if an AI application aims to improve diagnosis speed for diseases, the beneficiaries would be patients receiving quicker diagnoses, doctors who need timely information, and hospitals aiming to enhance service efficiency. By knowing who benefits, developers can focus on features that enhance user experiences for these groups.
