About this episode

Anfi and Ioana discuss the impact of AI on design systems and the misconception that AI would replace them.

Anfi and Ioana discuss how AI has changed the approach to design systems. They explore the idea that AI was expected to replace UI systems, but in reality, design systems are becoming more important. Why were people so confident that AI would replace them? And why won’t that happen? They also talk about what makes a design system AI-ready and whether AI operators will become a future role—should teams start specifically assigning people to manage AI within design systems?
