Anthony, Katie and special guest Maggie Appleton speculate about how AI could impact interface design in the future.
The five possible futures we discussed:
AI replaces designers and developers completely
AI produces a rough draft, a designer “tidies it up”
AI builds the interface out of supplied components and a description of how the interface works
AI produces content/components on demand, designers change it to suit, then put the interface together
Designers ask AI focused questions to get inspiration
