Join Michael Bustillos, Director of IDX at Neudesic, an IBM Company where he'll discuss UX in the era of AI, covering the current state of AI, trends in UX, and principles for today's UX and product designers. He will explore typical mental models for interacting with AI, current patterns and their pros and cons, and gaps that designers need to be aware of.
