UX Design Podcast: Why You Shouldn’t Skip UX Research in Any Project

It’s currently being discussed everywhere: Artificial Intelligence is making significant improvements, already taking on tasks such as researching, writing, and even designing. So, why would you need a User Interface Designer in a software project when AI, based on vast amounts of data, is expected to build better interfaces in the near future? Good news: There are fields where AI alone can’t make a difference. One of these fields is User Experience Research. Presumably, there will always be a need for a UX designer who analyzes and interprets human-machine interaction as the “human factor.” Based on that, artificial intelligence could take over. However, in projects, you should never skip the human-driven UX research part, which reveals what users of a digital solution truly want and need.

The two UX experts approach all these questions and provide exciting insights into real project situations.
