#33 Top 6 High-Level Skills for Designer
In this episode, we explore the high-level future skills that designers need to develop in order to excel in the age of AI. Here's a summary of the key points discussed:
Problem Solving: Designers should focus on honing their problem-solving skills to identify user needs, define design challenges, and come up with innovative solutions. This involves actively seeking out complex problems, adopting a user-centered approach, and utilizing frameworks like design thinking.
Critical Thinking: Designers must approach AI design with a critical mindset, evaluating ethical implications, potential biases, and limitations of AI systems.

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