Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

A growing number of UX designers are shifting toward AI UX, which focuses on designing how people interact with intelligent systems rather than simply creating interfaces. Unlike traditional UX, AI UX requires designers to think about behaviors, trust, uncertainty, conversational flows, human oversight, and how AI should respond in different situations, while building on existing UX skills like user research, interaction design, and usability testing. The transition involves learning AI fundamentals, studying successful AI products, designing AI-powered experiences, and creating portfolio projects that demonstrate not just polished interfaces but thoughtful human-AI interactions and decision-making.
