In the rapidly evolving UI/UX design field, creating positive user experiences powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly crucial. In the years ahead, designers and product teams will need to leverage AI to automate repetitive tasks and refine design patterns, processes, and techniques. To meet this growing demand, Stanford Online has developed a job-relevant curriculum to guide you through your AI-powered design journey.
Understand how to design interactive experiences that embed AI at the core of product design.
Identify situations where AI is, and is not, the right solution for the desired user experience.
Foresee potential issues with user trust, overreliance, and error, and design to mitigate the issues.
Be able to rapidly prototype and gain user feedback on human-AI interaction.
Gain practical skills to design and evaluate AI-driven user experiences, emphasizing user control, trust, prototyping, intelligence augmentation, social AI design, and ethical data practices.
User interface design patterns for human-AI interaction
Apply prototyping methods to create AI-enhanced design concepts
Understanding of AI-powered design tools, and if/when they are useful
Experience developing designs that integrate AI through a Capstone Project
Modern Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, for rapid AI behavior prototyping
Design and interface mockup tools, including Figma, to create and refine UI concepts
Additional UI prototyping tools depending on project needs
*These are indicative tools and are subject to change. Learners can reference recommended tutorials as needed and typically get up to speed quickly.
The Capstone Project gives you the opportunity to apply your AI and UX skills by designing a real-world AI-powered product. You will identify a problem through user research, determine the right balance between automation and user control, and evaluate ethical considerations to ensure responsible design. This hands-on project helps you translate course insights into an AI solution grounded in your industry context and strengthens both your portfolio and your practical capability.
