Last year, teams rallied around the idea that everyone is a builder. Now we’re putting that to the test: maybe AI does the building, maybe everyone becomes a UX practitioner, maybe both.
These sessions explore how AI is reshaping roles and org structures, and whether new team models can finally break through the constraints that lead to bad UX.
Companies are moving quickly to serve a world where people and AI are already deeply intertwined. UX-ers, though, didn’t wait for the starting gun. They’ve been studying how people actually experience AI, what they need from it, and where it falls short, and those insights are now shaping product strategy.
These sessions walk through the relationship between people and AI, and how those findings are changing the way we build products.
Some UX-ers aren’t just navigating the new landscape. They’re already exploring what comes next, working directly with AI models themselves.
These sessions take us through how to approach UX at the model level, what these systems actually do to people, and how to think about the ethics and governance that must come with them.
The challenges across all of the frontiers are real. Defining roles as teams evolve. Building new skills while the work keeps moving. Making decisions in a landscape that changes by the month.
These sessions take some learnings from the previous talks and dig deeper. So you can choose the ones most relevant to your role, organization, and approach.
