The Future of Product and UX in an AI World | With Michael Stern, Anthropic

​Join Irrational Labs and Michael Stern, Research Scientist at Anthropic for a conversation on how AI is reshaping the future of design, UX, and product development.

​Michael leads a Research team at the intersection of Societal Impacts and Product at Anthropic and is a former Irrational labs behavioral scientist. We’ve invited him back to report from the ground on how AI could change product development and what the societal implications might be.

​For years, product design followed a familiar rhythm: research, mockups, iteration. As conversational UX and AI generative tools become embedded into product and research workflows, many of the assumptions behind modern product development are starting to break down. So what replaces them?

​Drawing on emerging work at Anthropic — including large-scale analysis of how more than 81,000 people use Claude and new AI-powered tools for automated interviewing and UX research — Michael will explore what happens when user research itself becomes AI-native.

​Together, we’ll discuss how the relationship between product development, engineering, and research is changing in real time, what skills become more valuable as AI dramatically accelerates prototyping and product development, and the societal implications of building such powerful technology.

​📅 Friday, June 12
🕘 9:00 AM PT (10am MT | 11am CT | 12pm ET | 6pm CEST)

​What you’ll take away

• ​How AI-powered interviewing and automated UX research tools may transform social science research

• ​What designers and product teams should prepare for as AI-native workflows become the norm

• ​How to factor the societal impacts of AI into product development decisions

​This session is for designers, product leaders, researchers, founders, and anyone trying to understand how AI will reshape the future of UX and product design. You won’t want to miss this.
