Course outline

1. Introduction to AI

Let’s first explore what AI is, where it came from and how it connects with our specific UX design industry.

2. How NOT to use AI

At this point knowing what NOT to use AI for is actually more important than the opposite. Learn usecases in which AI tools currently do more harm than good

3. How to USE AI + Annotate it right

I believe the most important skill to learn right now regarding AI is annotating those rare use-cases in a way that makes it clear to everyone to check the AI content for legal or consistency issues.

8. Annotating Design

Annotation is a great way to present your work to stakeholders or even your portfolio viewers. When AI will manage to eventually do some of the UI work, it will be essential to present it well to everyone. This is key!
