Weekly curated resources for designers — thinkers and makers.
In the past decade, when looking at the level of individual companies, AI exposure has correlated with reduced hiring. Thanks to AI, firms are not only changing the job requirements for their roles — but they are also hiring less overall. We finally see the effects on “skilled” labor that we’ve already seen for “routine” labor; no longer can we say that our creative roles are AI-proof. Empirical evidence is building for what economists have long predicted.
This week, we saw the announcement of at least two services that show UX is coming up pretty soon on that list: Genius, a designer copilot which understands what you’re designing and makes smart suggestions, and Galileo, another AI that might be able to replace designers altogether. Designers obviously rushed to sign up for the waitlist, and many publicly state they are excited to start testing those tools.
This tech optimism might be a collective blind spot →
