In this video, the speaker addresses the question of whether artificial intelligence will replace user experience (UX) design. He clarifies that UX design is more than visual aesthetics; it is a data‑driven, human‑centered discipline that relies heavily on human emotions and unpredictable behavior, which cannot be fully captured in traditional datasets that AI models learn from. Consequently, he concludes that AI cannot replace UX designers.

For example, creating some of the research work, your buttons, your design system, your layout, your composition, your grid system. So if you make the most of artificial intelligence
