In this episode of the "Future of UX" podcast, we dive into how AI is transforming UX design tools and what the future might hold. After a brief recap of the previous episode, where we discussed typical UX tools, the impact of AI, and some challenges, this episode focuses on the future of design tools in an AI-driven world. 🔑 Key discussions include: The Evolving Relationship Between Humans and AI: AI is not just another tool; it fundamentally changes how we interact with technology. It turns data into the raw material for learned behavior, making the design process more dynamic and less static. Practical Example - Record Player vs. Spotify: We explored how traditional, static interactions, like using a record player, differ from dynamic, AI-driven experiences like Spotify. The latter improves over time, learning from user behavior, which illustrates how future tools will evolve in response to user interaction. Designing for AI: The future of UX design will require more strategic thinking and less focus on static interfaces. Designers will need to understand and design for ongoing, evolving relationships between users and AI. 💻 ✨Waiting list for the AI Academy: 6-week Bootcamp to Learn AI as a designer → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get notified when doors are opening again⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👉 0€ AI mini Training for Designers 👈 → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn 3 strategies to leverage gen AI as a designer in just 30 min⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💌 Newsletter → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Weekly UX insights and updates: UX Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find Patricia on Socials 📸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram @ux.patricia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin Patricia Reiners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🐦 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter @ux_Patricia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📝 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My UX Design Blog ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠
