Hidden cost of AI prototypes, leadership myths, how designers use AI

AI prototypes are increasingly seen as the baseline for design, often created solely for validation purposes and discarded afterward. This approach highlights a hidden cost: while they facilitate quick feedback, they do not contribute to a sustainable design framework. Many prototypes are not failures but serve a different intention, emphasizing the need for clarity in design objectives.

As design teams adopt faster prototyping methods, they face growing complexity in managing design systems. This complexity demands heightened focus and collaboration among team members, challenging traditional leadership myths that may not align with the realities of modern design practices.
