"UX design has fundamentally changed in the past 2-3 years, and it's probably career suicide to deny that. In fact, more UX designers might need to let go of conventional design stages and activities to allow for even more innovative processes empowered by AI. For example, strictly adhering to established workflows and handover processes ignores the potential to go from concept to functional, testable solution rapidly with AI."
"However, there are potential drawbacks if AI usage in UX design is over-relied on, and used mindlessly. Without sufficient critical thinking, we can easily end up with generic, biased designs that don't actually solve user problems. In some cases, we might even spend too much time on prompting and vibing with AI when we could have simply sketched or prototyped something ourselves - creating more sense of ownership in the process."
AI is reworking traditional UX design approaches, enabling practitioners to harness automation for greater efficiency and lower organizational costs. AI-enabled techniques allow rapid movement from concept to functional, testable prototypes, challenging strict adherence to legacy workflows and handover rituals. Many designers will need to relax conventional stage-based practices to unlock more innovative processes. However, over-reliance on AI without critical judgment can produce generic, biased solutions that fail to meet real user needs. Excessive time spent prompting AI can replace hands-on sketching or prototyping, reducing designer ownership. Ongoing validation of these patterns helps clarify practical implications for UX practice.
