  With there being many technical and ethical issues with artificial
intelligence (AI) that involve marginalized communities, there is a growing
interest for design methods used with marginalized people that may be
transferable to the design of AI technologies. Participatory design (PD) is a
design method that is often used with marginalized communities for the design
of social development, policy, IT and other matters and solutions. However,
there are issues with the current PD, raising concerns when it is applied to
the design of technologies, including AI technologies. This paper argues for
the use of PD for the design of AI technologies, and introduces and proposes a
new PD, which we call agile participatory design, that not only can could be
used for the design of AI and data-driven technologies, but also overcomes
issues surrounding current PD and its use in the design of such technologies.
