AI can write the code now, but who's designing what it builds? Louise Macfadyen, author of the newly released O'Reilly book, Designing AI Interfaces, joins Bethany Crystal for a conversation that starts with a deceptively simple question: What does it mean to design AI-native systems and interfaces?
Together they'll explore the philosophy and surprises of designing AI systems, poking at questions like: Who counts as a designer now? What does good taste looks like in a prompt-driven world? What happens when the coding is the easy part? Then they'll put it to the test.
