The role of designers is evolving to encompass aspects of design engineering thanks to AI, allowing for easier and quicker prototyping and idea implementation.
Specialization in design roles is diminishing, and the future favors generalists who can handle various tasks in the design process.
Designers are predicted to become design engineers by the end of the year, indicating a shift towards a more versatile skill set that includes coding and bug fixing.
While AI aids in making tasks more efficient, the importance of design training and taste in creating high-quality outputs remains crucial, with professionals still needed for refinement.
