More books to read, now even more critical for today’s dynamic, co-evolving interaction paradigms.

Yesterday evening, I had the pleasure and honor to join a panel discussion on the transformative impact of #AI on #UX Research alongside Flora Lu, Kirby May Johnson and Rik Wester. Our conversation covered how the wide-scale introduction of Generative AI tools—and rapid developments towards predictive, interactive, and autonomous AI—are reshaping the UX Research process. I argued that the next wave of AI promises to be even more transformative. So far, we’ve mainly seen productivity improvements for individual UX researchers, but by integrating diverse data sources like support tickets, sales calls, and more, we can generate a continuous stream of long-living data that feeds into our Product Discovery repositories. This, in my view, is the key to truly democratizing UX—not by teaching everyone the intricacies of UX processes, but by embedding UX practices within AI agents and democratizing the outcomes. This is exactly what we're aiming for at NEXT, to enable a new wave of transformation driven by AI. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to this insightful discussion. Exciting times are ahead for UX Research & Product Discovery! 🙏 Beauchamp (Beach) Bagenal, Kris Smirnova and Norstat: Thanks for organizing this inspiring exchange!

Watching Jakob Nielsen talk about AI. It's still a good listen after 6 months. At the end Jakob highlights how programmers have seen a shift towards abstraction in their tools, moving away from low-level coding to higher-level languages and IDEs. AI further abstracts this process, simplifying the manual effort. In UX, the focus is evolving from spending time pixel-pushing to understanding customers deeply, extracting business needs, and leaning into empathy. https://lnkd.in/eZk8Qhwf

I gave AI the pen, and together we wrote a guide to UX in the age of AI. 🐉 "The Dragon Process 2.0" is now live on Amazon—a book about weaving AI into the fabric of design, balancing precision with the unpredictable, and taming the wild dragons of creativity and technology. This isn’t just a how-to. It’s a meditation on the future of UX: 🎨 Where machines suggest, but humans decide. 💡 Where efficiency meets empathy. 🌌 Where the line between inspiration and automation blurs, and we explore what it means to create in partnership with AI. Sound intriguing? Take a peek here: https://lnkd.in/esTkhg7U. Let me know what you think. Let’s design with dragons. #UXDesign #AI #TheDragonProcess
