INDIA LEADS THE WAY ON GOOGLE'S NANO BANANA WITH A LOCAL CREATIVE TWIST

Google's Nano Banana image-generation model has made India its leading market, propelling the Gemini app to the top of the charts with 15.2 million downloads this year. Indian users are creating unique local trends, such as retro Bollywood portraits, AI-generated saree images, and vintage cityscapes, which are spreading globally. Despite leading in usage, India contributes only 1.5% of Gemini's $6.4 million in revenue, although it shows the fastest month-over-month spending growth at 18%.

RESEARCH IS A LEADERSHIP SKILL; DON'T CEDE IT TO AI

Research serves as a critical leadership tool for creating stakeholder alignment and shared understanding, not just data collection. AI tools undermine this process by eliminating human participation in knowledge creation, preventing the development of ownership and commitment that drives organizational action. Effective UX research requires building stakeholder mental models through collaborative engagement, a process that AI cannot replicate, despite promises of increased efficiency.

ONBOARDING AND CONNECTING SMART DEVICES: FIVE GUIDELINES FOR USER-FRIENDLY SMART-DEVICE APPS

Reconnection should mirror the initial setup with automatic detection and detailed guidance, as users rarely recall the exact steps. Apps must also support flexible device management, provide honest progress indicators, and handle errors transparently with specific messaging and actionable solutions.

STOP SAYING YOU'RE AI-NATIVE: START SHOWING IT

Being AI-native requires hands-on experimentation with AI tools rather than just designing AI interfaces. True AI-native professionals build personal tools, push AI systems to their limits, and develop strong opinions through constant use of various models and platforms. Hire designers who demonstrate genuine AI fluency through personal projects, documented failures, and in-depth toolchain knowledge, rather than theoretical experience.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TRUST IN AI: A GUIDE TO MEASURING AND DESIGNING FOR USER CONFIDENCE

Trust in AI systems can be measured and designed for, identifying four key components: ability, benevolence, integrity, and predictability. Calibrated trust—not blind trust or distrust—is the ideal user state, requiring transparent design that acknowledges AI limitations and potential errors. UX professionals must advocate for genuinely trustworthy systems while avoiding "trustwashing," which manipulates users into false confidence, particularly by addressing user fears about job displacement through ethical research and design practices.

ILLUSTRATED THINKING: WHY BRANDS ARE TURNING BACK TO DRAWING

Illustration has declined in advertising due to risk-averse clients, slower production, and misconceptions of it being “childlike,” but it remains powerful for distinctiveness, flexibility, and impact, especially in murals, toolkits, and digital activations. Experts see a resurgence ahead, with opportunities in motion, hybrid projects, and illustrators acting as creative partners, making illustrated campaigns stand out in a photo-saturated landscape.
