When anyone can prompt an interface into existence, the value of design has to extend beyond producing screens. This session asks whether AI diminishes designers or makes strategic thinking, research, taste and judgement even more important. Product design leaders will debate what becomes automated, what remains distinctly human and how designers can lead the next generation of products.
