In today’s episode of TPOT, I sit down with Tunde Mason, the Head of Product Design at Kuda. He’s been in the creative space for about 10 years and he's very passionate about artificial intelligence, product design and spatial design.

We explore the topic of AI and how it affects the field of product design. Will AI render designers jobless and unable to feed their kids soon or will designers continue to ride the wave and use it as a tool to better succeed? Either way, AI is here to stay so tune in and listen!
