Designers working on AI-powered products face a critical challenge: translating complex machine learning systems into experiences that feel natural and trustworthy to users. This article addresses the intersection of AI design and human-centered product thinking, showcasing how UX professionals can approach emerging technologies with intentionality. Haley Oh’s work at Microsoft demonstrates practical applications of human-centered AI principles, which are increasingly essential as products embed generative AI, predictive systems, and intelligent assistants into core user workflows.
