Webinar | Critical AI for Designers: Better Decisions, Not Just Faster Outputs
🎯 For UX designers, UX researchers, product designers & PMs | 🧠 Beginner - Intermediate | 🕒 60 min | 💵 Free
Most conversations about AI in design focus on speed. But faster output isn’t the same as better work. Generic ideas, confident but shaky synthesis, and unchecked assumptions can slip into your decisions without anyone noticing.
In this session, Mille Wienberg Reynolds walks through practical examples from research, synthesis, ideation, and prototyping. She shows where generative AI genuinely helps, where it quietly makes the work worse, and how to evaluate its output critically.
You’ll leave with a clear framework for deciding when to use AI and when not to. You’ll also see how to treat it as a collaborator while keeping the judgment, authorship, and responsibility that make your work valuable.
🧠 What You’ll Learn
• Identify where generative AI genuinely adds value across UX and product workflows
• Recognize weak assumptions, generic thinking, and unreliable AI output
• Use AI as a collaborator while keeping human judgment and responsibility
• Apply a critical framework for deciding when, and when not, to use AI
