## ✨ Talk: Soulful UX in the AI World

Josh Lee, Product Design Director, KeyBank
AI is rapidly absorbing decades of UX best practices, making usability and conversion patterns easier to copy. As product interfaces become more optimised and uniform, the real competitive advantage shifts toward soulful design that feels meaningful, distinctive and emotionally resonant.
Josh will cover:

• Why AI is accelerating sameness across digital products
• How teams can stay connected to the real human problem behind the work
• Practical ways to design with identity and intention
• Where creativity and emotional intelligence still create the biggest impact
