Where’s the AI design renaissance?

I create and sell online design courses for many folks in tech – designers, aspiring designers, design-adjacent – and one question I’ve gotten a lot over the last two and a half years is: what is AI going to do to design?

I’ve been hesitant to answer too confidently, since things have been moving very quickly, and – as a teacher of design – I fall straight into a trap put so memorably by Upton Sinclair a century ago:

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. 
― Upton Sinclair

That being said, if the robots are taking all the design jobs any time soon, I also would like to find my next act. So you can take this article with a grain of salt, and feel free to push back in the comments, on X, or via email 🙂This post attempts to answer two questions:Will AI take design jobs? If so, which ones?In light of that, what should designers focus on?
