In this episode of the Future of UX podcast, we revisit the question: "Is UX still a future-proof career?" A year ago, we explored the initial waves of AI and emerging design tools, but today, the landscape has dramatically evolved. From AI-generated videos and sophisticated design tools like Uizard, to groundbreaking devices like the AI Pin and Rabbit R1, the possibilities for UX designers are expanding faster than ever. We discuss the rise of new roles such as AI Agent Designers and Data-Driven Experience Designers, the shift from task-based to intention-based interactions, and the future of designing without screens. Tune in to learn how these changes impact our field and how to stay ahead in this rapidly transforming industry. Key takeaways include embracing continuous learning, leveraging AI as a design partner, and preparing for a future where UX extends beyond traditional screens and devices.


🔑 Key Learnings:

  1. Rapid Advancements in AI Tools: Understanding how tools like Midjourney, Uizard, and Figma’s AI plugins have evolved and what it means for design workflows.
