This question is both exciting and challenging because technology is evolving at a rapid pace. From what I saw in the Computer History Museum’s exhibit on chatbots and artificial intelligence, it’s clear that AI has penetrated many aspects of our daily lives . . enabling humans to focus on the creative, strategic and interpersonal aspects of their work. Artificial Intelligence replaces repetitive and mechanical human tasks. As an interaction design student, AI-driven design tools that speed up prototyping or generating design ideas are tools that can increase efficiency and help us focus on more human-centered design work. It is a future collaborator for designers. However, this shift means we need to adapt, learn new skills for working with AI, and rethink traditional career paths to fit. While AI can act as a collaborative partner, enhance human creativity, and may reshape the way we work and live by increasing efficiency and personalization, I think it will also present us with many societal challenges! Imagine the ubiquity and scope of AI in the future, what will happen to society if AI starts to dominate user decision-making?

For designers, writers or anyone else who needs to think creatively and empathetically, people who need to think. It may be possible that AI becomes his assistant, maybe it might take over their brains.
