I am going to talk about the ways in which ChatGPT, a powerful language model developed by OpenAI, can support UX designers in their workflow. I am always curious about what these tools mean for UX designers? and I tried them out for different parts of the UX process and I am impressed. Before we talk 8 ways how you can use ChatGPT in your UX workflow

ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, which is a machine learning model that is trained on a large dataset of text to generate natural language text. OpenAI trained ChatGPT on a massive dataset of conversational text and fine-tuned it to understand and respond to natural language inputs. The goal of ChatGPT is to allow users to interact with a machine in a more natural and human-like way. It is a product of the research and development efforts of OpenAI team, with the goal of creating advanced AI models that can assist users in various tasks.

ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and respond to what people say or write. It's like a magic box that can answer your questions and have a conversation with you. It's been taught many things, so it knows a lot about different topics and can give you information or help you with tasks. It's like having a personal helper that you can talk to through a computer.

How I integrate ChatGPT in my UX workflow:

1. Content generation aka writing
2. Desk Research
3. User Research
4. Ideation & Inspiration
5. Prototyping
6. Wireframing
7. Summarising
8. Accessibility Testing

In this episode, we’re tackling something that many of us in UX, product, and design secretly struggle with: networking.

Let’s be honest—traditional networking was built for extroverts.
〜 Loud voices, quick conversations, and constant self-promotion dominate events.
〜 Social platforms like LinkedIn reward frequent posting and engagement.
〜 Conferences and meetups can be draining, especially for introverts.

So, what if networking didn’t have to feel this way?

We’ll explore:
〜 Why traditional networking methods fail introverts
〜 How UX could improve digital networking experiences
〜 What AI could do to facilitate deeper and more natural connections
〜 Whether we can borrow UX tricks from dating apps to make networking feel less forced

Networking is one of the most valuable future skills—but does it need a complete redesign?

In this episode, we’re tackling a huge question: How do we measure a “good” AI experience?

AI is shaping everything—from hiring decisions to medical diagnoses, from content recommendations to self-driving cars. But here’s the issue: we don’t even have clear UX standards for AI.

💡 If we don’t measure UX in AI properly, we risk building products that are functional but untrustworthy, accurate but unethical, powerful but frustrating to use.

We dive into:

〜 Why traditional UX metrics fail in AI-driven products
〜 The Amazon hiring AI scandal—how biased algorithms create bad UX
〜 The problem of explainability—why we often don’t understand AI decisions
〜 The future of AI UX standards—should there be a universal AI UX certification?

📌 Core Question: Can we trust AI to deliver great user experiences if we don’t even know how to measure them?

Let’s explore what’s missing in AI UX—and what needs to change.

Staying informed about AI technologies and engaging in discussions is crucial.

3. Creativity: AI technologies provide designers with new opportunities for creative exploration. Designers can leverage AI's capabilities to generate unique ideas, automate repetitive tasks, and push the boundaries of design. Cultivating creativity involves seeking diverse sources of inspiration, embracing experimentation, and adopting a playful approach to problem-solving.

4. Leadership: Designers with leadership skills can effectively guide cross-functional teams in designing AI products. They advocate for user-centered approaches, influence decision-making processes, and champion the ethical use of AI. Leadership is crucial in aligning stakeholders and driving successful AI projects.

5. Collaboration: Designing AI products requires collaboration with diverse teams, including AI experts, data scientists, developers, and stakeholders. Designers who excel at collaboration can effectively communicate design concepts, facilitate discussions, and seamlessly integrate AI technologies into the product vision. Active participation in cross-disciplinary projects and fostering empathy are key.

In this episode, we explore a question that affects all of us:

📌 Are we designing for users who are already exhausted?

We wake up and immediately check our phones. We spend hours switching between apps, notifications, and endless feeds. Our brains are constantly processing information, yet focusing for more than a few minutes feels impossible.

If digital fatigue is shaping how people interact with technology, what does that mean for UX? Should we be designing less, not more?

We’ll dive into:

• How digital fatigue is changing user behavior
• Why attention spans are shrinking—and what it means for UX
• The dark side of dopamine-driven design (infinite scroll, notifications, engagement hacks)
• The ethical dilemma: Should UX designers prioritize well-being over engagement?

And here’s an extreme thought:
👉 What if designers were rewarded for reducing screen time instead of increasing engagement?

In this episode of The Future of UX, I’m joined by Zamina Ahmad, Founder of Shades & Contrast, a consultancy focused on fair and responsible AI solutions. With over 15 years of experience in data science, machine learning, and AI product development, Zamina shares her expert insights on how businesses can leverage AI effectively—without falling into common traps.

We explore:
〰 The AI hype train—what’s real and what’s just noise?
〰 The 3-Level AI Integration Framework—a guide for companies to scale AI efficiently
〰 How to balance automation, ethics, and innovation
〰 The biggest AI challenges (and how to avoid them)

Plus, we discuss how AI is democratizing technology, the importance of responsible AI, and where AI is headed in the next 5–10 years.

If you’re working in UX, product design, or tech, this episode is packed with insights on how to navigate AI’s rapid evolution.

I had the pleasure of hosting, Thorsten Jonas, who is a specialist in sustainable UX and innovation. I first met Thorsten at an Adobe event many years ago, and since then, he has undergone significant personal growth, including experiencing burnout and realizing that he wanted to pursue his passion for sustainable design. During our interview, Thorsten candidly discusses how to navigate mental health challenges in one's career and how to embark on a new journey where failure is an inherent part of the process. He founded the Sustainable UX Network, a community where designers can learn and connect with others interested in sustainable design. Today, Thorsten is a keynote speaker and consultant who shares insights on sustainable design and its relevance in today's world. This interview is truly inspiring.

Freelancing is a future topic and freelancing is likely to become a much bigger topic in the future for creatives due to several reasons:

1. Remote work: With the rise of remote work and the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more companies are opting for flexible work arrangements. This trend is likely to continue, making freelancing a more attractive option for creatives.
2. Increased demand for flexible work: Many creatives are seeking more control over their work schedule and lifestyle, and freelancing provides that flexibility. As demand for this type of work arrangement increases, freelancing is likely to become a more popular option.
3. Technology advancements: With the increasing availability of online platforms and tools, it is easier than ever for creatives to find freelance work and connect with clients. This has made freelancing more accessible and appealing to a wider range of people.
4. Cost savings: Hiring freelancers can be more cost-effective for companies, as they don't have to provide benefits and other perks associated with full-time employees. This can lead to an increase in demand for freelancers.
5. Career advancement: Freelancing can provide creatives with the opportunity to work on a wider range of projects, gain new skills, and build their portfolio. This can lead to career advancement and greater job opportunities in the future.
