DESIGN LITERACY IN THE AGE OF INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION

In a world increasingly dominated by AI and automation, design is evolving from a specialized profession into a universal mindset that combines strategic thinking with creative execution. This transformation emphasizes the importance of human elements like vision, curation, and conviction in creating meaningful products and experiences. As AI democratizes creation and technical skills, success will depend more on design literacy - the ability to understand what to build and why it matters, rather than just how to build it.
