As the technology starts solving problems as complex as the ones people handle, the experience of interacting with it has to change too. If the experience can&apos;t keep up with the power of the technology, users will walk away, no matter how smart the AI is.</description><pubDate>Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>AI-native designer: designing in the AI era and rethinking the old design process</title><link>https://www.nguyentantoan.com/en/blog-post/ai-native-designer-design-in-the-ai-era/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.nguyentantoan.com/en/blog-post/ai-native-designer-design-in-the-ai-era/</guid><description>AI does not replace the design thinking of people who build products.
