Summary
Four of your research colleagues discussed and defended their respective positions (below) on the impact of AI on user research. Participants engaged in a discussion and Q&A, facilitated by Dr. Jamika D. Burge. “AI has the potential to be the researcher's best friend, by doing all the heavy lifting associated with analysis - but it also has the potential to cause unimaginable damage”. – Nick Fine “Researchers absolutely must learn to create AI prompts. Not only will prompt engineering become an essential, required research skill, but it will also offer a much-needed opportunity to rethink our role as facilitators of change.” – Alexandra Jayeun Lee Soon, AI will be able to utilize the participant's feedback as a prompt to create RITE design variations on the fly, offering the researcher multiple flow options organically and in real time, which will radically transform our research practice.” – Greg Nudelman “UX Researchers can reinvent themselves as “delightful ethicists” who oversee ethics on critical issues when generative AI supplies abundant solutions without providing the why." – Bo Wang
