According to Indeed.com, UX salaries dropped by 11 % and job openings fell by 70 % in 2023. Are AI tools making some UX roles obsolete, or are they creating new opportunities that require a different approach?
Description:
Join us for "hy.ped or not," a series exploring the potential impact of AI on the design process. This session will dive into the effects of AI on UX design, examining whether these changes signal the end of traditional design roles or the start of new opportunities.
We will discuss various topics, including the economic shifts in the UX field highlighted by a significant drop in salaries and job openings. Are AI tools enhancing our capabilities or replacing them? How can designers adapt to these changes and prepare for the future?
Be a part of this open conversation where we will:
- Explore how emerging technologies are transforming the design industry.
- Debate if these changes are just hype or if they offer substantial benefits.
- Discuss how we can update our skillsets to thrive in this new era.
- Bring your experiences, share your insights, and help us create an inclusive and engaging space for all. Let's unpack this mystery together and understand what the future holds for UX design.
