Understanding AI Autonomy & Your Role as a UX Designer

​AI is moving beyond simple tools that respond to prompts. Increasingly, AI systems can make decisions, take actions, and work with less human involvement.

​What does that mean for UX designers?

​In this session, we'll break down the different levels of AI autonomy, from AI that simply assists you to AI that can independently take action. We will also explore how the designer's role changes at each level.

​You'll learn:

• ​What the different levels of AI autonomy actually mean

• ​How the role of UX designers changes as AI becomes more autonomous

• ​What designers need to consider when AI starts making decisions

• ​Where human involvement and oversight matter

• ​How to think about designing experiences where humans and AI work together

​You don't need to be an AI expert to attend. This session is designed for UX designers, product designers, researchers, and anyone interested in how AI is changing the design process.

​Come away with a clearer understanding of AI autonomy, and how to start thinking differently about your role as a designer in an AI-driven world.
