UX & Development in the AI era: is the line between design & code blurring?

UX & Development in the AI era: is the line between design and code blurring?

Do you feel like the boundary between UX and development is blurring?

As AI makes building digital products more accessible, cheaper, and faster than ever, a crucial question arises: Is the UX designer becoming a developer, and vice versa?

It is tempting to believe that speed equals success. After all, we can now generate a prototype that looks like a finished product in a single afternoon. But building good software is a different ballgame entirely. True quality isn’t found in the fact that you can build something, but in what you choose to build.

The questions we still need to answer haven’t changed, but they’ve become more urgent:

• Can you stand behind your choices when a client asks "why?"
• Will your architecture scale when you move from ten users to ten thousand, or will it break?
• Is the product secure, accessible, and inclusive, or just "finished"?

This still requires strategic knowledge and experience. While building and designing are faster than ever, creating a truly valuable product remains pure craftsmanship.

During this roundtable, we will discuss how the roles of UX and Development are converging. We’ll explore what it means for our careers and how we can maintain our standards in a world that only seems to care about "fast."

What you'll gain from this roundtable

• Beyond the UX/dev divide: how blurring roles are fundamentally reshaping our teams and expectations.
• The "Invisible" Essentials: why architecture and security matter most when AI makes UI feel "instant."
• Strategic speed: how to leverage AI for efficiency without losing your grip on quality and integrity.
• Peer exchange: real talk with other leaders navigating the same shifts in product and design.
