UXCrunch August: Debate Night - Is AI Coming for Design Jobs?

🤖 Is AI changing design, and if so, what happens to the designer?

One side argues that AI will make the traditional design role obsolete, while the other contends that the real threat lies in employers mistakenly believing AI can replace designers.

Tonight, we debate: Is AI replacing traditional designers, or are employers just getting it wrong?

AI will make the traditional design role obsolete. This talk discusses the gap between traditional Designers and AI-native Designers, and why closing it is essential for the survival of design in this transformative era.
