Strategy & Vision
ARCHECO and DePaul University students debate the future of AI in UX: design ethics, human judgement, and where automation belongs in creative practice.
02.
Execution & Design
Real workflow discussion — how studios integrate AI into research and prototyping without losing the human-centred rigour that makes design meaningful.
03.
Impact & Growth
Impact measured through shifts in student thinking: longer research phases, more nuanced problem framing, and healthier scepticism toward AI-generated outputs.

Conclusion
The clearest takeaway: AI amplifies good design thinking and exposes weak design thinking. Studios treating it as a shortcut will fall behind those treating it as a mirror.
