Introduction

This video explores emerging specializations within UX design, highlighting areas with high growth potential due to increasing demand and limited skilled professionals. The speaker identifies four key specializations: AX Design (Agent Experience Design), VUI Design (Voice User Interface Design), S-UX Design (Sustainable UX Design), and discusses the required skills and resources for each.

Key Takeaways

• AX Design (Agent Experience Design): Focuses on designing user experiences for AI agents, requiring understanding of AI technology, APIs, and agent behavior. Resources include articles by Shiage and a course on AI Agentic Design Patterns with Autogen (requires Python coding experience). It builds upon existing UX principles.
• VUI Design (Voice User Interface Design): Concentrates on designing voice-based interfaces, emphasizing conversational UI and addressing challenges like higher error rates compared to traditional UIs (due to accents, language variations, and AI interpretation). Resources include a blog by Career Foundry and the no-code tool Voiceflow. UX knowledge is fundamental.
• S-UX Design (Sustainable UX Design): Emphasizes creating environmentally conscious user experiences by reducing server load, optimizing page load times, and considering material usage and energy consumption in hardware. Design Lab provides resources on this topic. Key principles include efficiency and minimalism.
• General Skills: Across all specializations, a foundational understanding of UX principles is crucial. For AX and VUI design, familiarity with AI technology is beneficial, while coding skills (particularly Python) can be advantageous for certain AX resources.
