Artificial intelligence & design: imagining the future of UX
summary
Multi-year research combines participatory workshops, a survey of UX professionals, and concept testing to evaluate concrete AI assists: auto layout, generative plugins (DALL·E, Midjourney, ChatGPT), and a Material tool where users mistake deterministic color extraction for AI—the Material Theme Builder. Findings show two clear value streams: tedious-task automation (linting, accessibility checks, cross-device reflow) and idea generation, with designers favoring an AI-as-creative partner model while demanding provenance, trust signals, and Wizard-of-Oz prototyping to validate impact.
