UX for AI

This course examines how generative artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how products are designed, and how students can evolve their UX practice to thrive in this rapidly changing landscape. They will learn to critically evaluate AI tools to identify their value in UX workflows, articulate informed perspectives on emerging debates in UX for AI (e.g., how AI is redefining design and product roles), and make thoughtful decisions about when to delegate tasks to AI versus keeping them human-led.

Learning activities include hands-on use and structured evaluation of leading AI-enabled design tools (e.g., Figma Make, Lovable, V0), analysis and discussion of current academic and industry literature (e.g., how generative AI challenges the foundations of human-centered design), and conversations with industry experts building AI products. The course emphasizes cultivating an intentional exploration mindset — learning by researching, building, testing, and reflecting — to align emerging AI capabilities with human-centered design values.
