When is it ethical to present AI generated ideas
"A comprehensive UX audit of all the app was the first thing I needed to do - to identify friction and suggest improvements. After reviewing the app and particular features, I had a list of flaws and possible improvements. And I had an idea - what if I screenshot the app and send it to Figma make with instructions, based on my findings. The result truly impressed me and, naturally, I became excited to show it to my client."
"But then I thought "Hold on... Should UX designers show AI-generated ideas to clients?" Well, actually - we should not, at least not directly and not on early stages. AI is incredibly useful for speed and exploration. It may feel like generating screens based on your ideas is a fast and easy way to articulate your solution. However, in client reviews, how ideas are presented matters more than how they were generated."
"What is my approach? I use AI behind the scenes to:- explore alternative flows- challenge my initial assumptions- think through edge cases- unblock early ideation"
A UX audit revealed app friction and produced a list of flaws and possible improvements. The designer used AI to generate redesigned screens from app screenshots, which produced impressive results. The designer chose not to present AI-generated ideas directly to the client in early stages. The recommendation is to keep AI behind the scenes for speed and exploration while crafting and justifying design decisions. AI supports exploring alternative flows, challenging assumptions, surfacing edge cases, and unblocking early ideation. Presentation of ideas to clients should emphasize rationale and human-led decision-making rather than the method used to generate screens.
