Dictating Terms - UX for AI & UX by AI
As artificial intelligence saturates products and design workflows, the line between “tool” and “co-designer” is blurring. It’s time for UX leaders to dictate the terms - not just react to AI’s momentum.
This talk reframes the evolving relationship: both how UX design shapes AI and how AI is now shaping the practice and products of UX.
On the “UX for AI” front, I’ll tackle the challenge of building legible, humane, and trustworthy AI-powered products. Human-centered AI is more than state-of-the-art models; it’s about interfaces that expose intent and limits, empower users with control, and foreground outcomes that genuinely matter to people - not metrics that matter to models.
The future belongs to designers who can articulate and enforce these terms before AI “ghosts” into every interface.
Turning the lens inward, “UX by AI” explores how generative and predictive AI are transforming the designer’s own toolkit - autogenerating screen flows, copy, and even research insights.
But here’s the mandate: treat AI’s contributions as raw creative material to be critiqued, iterated, and made accountable - not as infallible oracles. The designer’s ethical, critical, and human judgment must remain the final filter.
If we abdicate agency, AI will silently dictate the boundaries of UX - both for our users and our profession. Let’s flip the script:
UX must dictate the terms, not the other way around.
UX should write the rulebook rather than retrofit guardrails.

Belonging or Breaking Apart? AI, Identity, and the Risk of Social Fragmentation
From hiring algorithms to personalised content feeds, AI technologies are shaping how people are included (or excluded) from society. This panel explores how AI influences identity, social cohesion, and systemic discrimination.
Topics include algorithmic bias, digital accessibility, intergenerational divides, and the fragmentation of cultural narratives. Can we design AI systems that foster inclusion and equity, or are we embedding existing inequalities into our technological future? The panel invites dialogue on how to ensure that no one is left behind in the age of intelligent systems.

Should developing nations build AI from scratch or acquire through technology transfer?
Transfer advocates argue proven solutions can leap-frog development stages. Local innovation champions counter that dependence perpetuates colonialism. Can hybrid models combine speed with sustainability?
