It’s 2023. AI can draw like Picasso, write like Hemingway, and maybe ... design better than you? Just kidding. Sort of. But if you’ve ever wished for a magic intern, AI is about as close as you’ll get—without the passive-aggressive Slack messages.
Here’s what’s coming in 2024 that every designer needs to know:
1. Smart Interfaces That Learn
Your app dashboard might soon rearrange itself based on how you use it. Think Spotify but for layout. Yes, your software is judging you. But helpfully.

2. Prompt-Based Everything
Want a landing page for your gluten-free dog treat startup? Just type it. Tools like Framer AI and Galileo AI are making prompt-driven design the new normal.
3. AI Sidekicks in Figma & Canva
Figma’s Autoflow plugin and Canva’s Magic Design let AI assist you with layouts and copy. It’s like a design buddy who never needs coffee.
4. Ethics Goes Mainstream
Users want to know if your work is AI generated. Agencies are even putting AI disclaimers in contracts. Transparency is trendy.
Bottom line? If you’re not learning AI, you’re designing like it’s 2013, which is fine, if you still like Comic Sans.
