Hey, UX!
Will AI Replace You?
You are a:
Strategist
You bring solutions, not just screens. You use data, understand business goals, and help shape product strategy. PMs trust your insights—and AI can’t touch that. Unlikely Replaceable
The Strategist
“Unlikely to be replaced by AI.”
​
Here's Why:
You’re a proactive, strategic force on your team. You care about business goals, design validation, and cross-functional alignment. You’re no longer just executing—you’re shaping outcomes. But you’re not done. The next level is building influence, evangelizing impact, and creating space for UX to lead.
​
​How to Become Irreplaceable:
​
-
Evangelize UX Impact (Read Chapter #8)
Don’t assume everyone sees the value of your work. Learn to connect design changes to business ROI and share that story with stakeholders regularly.
​
-
Lead Alignment Workshops (Read Chapter #3, #10)
Conflicting priorities? Misunderstood user needs? Bring people together to align. Facilitating structured collaboration increases your strategic influence.
​
-
Create PM Personas (Read Chapter #1)
Just like user personas, build one for your PM. What pressures do they face? What are their goals? Understanding this helps you anticipate needs and build trust.
​
-
Share Research to Guide Decisions (Read Chapter #10)
You already value research—now make it actionable. Use insights to de-risk roadmap bets, validate hypotheses, and argue for or against features with evidence.
​
-
Document Your Impact (Read Chapter #8)
Start tracking the before/after of your design work. Did task completion improve? Did support tickets drop? Use that data to make UX outcomes visible.
