summary
Claim: AI already eats much UI and visual work so teams move straight to prototype and code, leaving augmentation not automation as the working mantra. Example: a global bank launches a five-module UX program for all staff because regulated digital learning must be consistent and accurate. Prediction: jobs shift to a diamond-shaped job market with fewer junior craft roles. Required human skills are critical thinking, persuasion and ownership of outcomes, and conflict resolution.
