Can AI Be an Effective Member of a User Interface Design Team?
- 9.15 - 10.00
- Keynote
-
Recent studies have evaluated the use of AI clients (e.g., ChatGPT) by members of a User Interface Design Team.
Study results indicate that such clients can be very effective in design research and execution (e.g., the definition of personas and test scenarios). Skeptics raise the usual AI- related concerns such as theft of creative material and potential job loss.
This talk will explore the roles that AI clients could potentially play in a User Interface Support Design Team either as a full team member or as a research and design collaborator in order attain a successful and innovative team result.

Process automation is an important task in Sydbank if we want to be competitive and live up to customer expectation about fast deliverables.
Whether in the Backoffice or in the Markets, our job is to make sure transactions are handled on time and without mistakes. But how can the same people operating also prioritise and find time for development?
I’ll present to you our approach to balance operations with development in an agile setup and invite you to a discussion about the challenges there may follow the investment.

In the pursuit of rapid cost savings, organisations often prioritize immediate returns from their automation initiatives. However, this approach carries inherent risks and potential downfalls.
A more balanced strategy, which views automation as a strategic lever and key competence, can better support an organisation’s need for continuous modernization and efficiency.
By right-sizing their automation efforts, organisations can ensure lasting efficiencies and adaptability in an ever-evolving business landscape.
