Will AI drive a new UX?

AI is the first artificial interface layer that understands humans, redesigning how we interact with information and thus fundamentally changing how we work, play, communicate, consume, and ultimately spend our time. We may soon view GUIs like we currently view books.

Will AI reorganize the re-org?

The people, processes, culture, and systems that underpin today’s digital business ecosystem will be replaced by a new suite of generative AI tools, eliminating existing roles, divisions, and departments, and birthing completely new ways of operating. There will be no such thing as an “AI-first company” because not embracing AI tomorrow will be equivalent to not using the internet today.

Will brands matter in the AI era?

Generative AI will diminish the relevance of traditional brands and marketing channels. As AI accelerates a content and communications race to the bottom, legacy and startup brands will have to develop new methods for differentiation.

AI is the first artificial interface layer that understands humans. This is going to fundamentally change the way design is used to facilitate key consumer behaviors.

Is new hardware important anymore?
