"When users interact with AI tools, many walk away uncertain about what the system actually did or the reasoning behind its decisions. This is a design challenge we can address. Products are already displaying their reasoning upfront, communicating decisions in accessible language, and allowing users to intervene when the AI makes mistakes. In 2026, this adoption will accelerate. The explainable AI market is expected to reach $33.2 billion by 2032, as people won't trust systems they can't understand."
"This aligns with something else happening: users are developing stronger intuitions about where, how, and when these agents deliver genuine value versus when they just get in the way. The result is consolidation. Rather than juggling dozens of fragmented agents that each handle one narrow task, master agents will coordinate specialized agents automatically. They'll route work based on task type, context, and importance, powered by advances in LLM reasoning that make this orchestration possible for the first time."
AI will sit at the center of major UX shifts, with explainability becoming essential as users demand clarity about system outputs and reasoning. Products increasingly show reasoning upfront, use accessible language, and let users intervene when AI errs, and adoption of these patterns is expected to accelerate. The explainable AI market is projected to grow substantially by 2032 as trust depends on understanding. Businesses are boosting budgets for agentic capabilities, and users are learning where agents add value. Consolidation will favor master agents that automatically coordinate specialized agents, routing work by task, context, and importance.
