The Bull and Bear Case for Digital Design in the Age of AI
Smashing Magazine
EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt says designers often work between product and engineering, where they can spot problems but struggle to get fixes approved. It argues that AI is more interesting for design than the usual replacement debate because the bigger shift may be that designers need less permission to act. The focus is not on making more screens, but on changing how design work gets done.
INSIGHTS
For someone learning design or AI, this highlights how tools can change workflows, not just outputs. Try exploring how AI can help prototype ideas or test flows faster, so you can spend more time solving user problems instead of waiting on approvals.
