Before you hire an AI developer, ask these 4 questions.
1) Can I see it working on my actual data?
Not a demo. Not a sample dataset. My data.
2) What happens when it gives a wrong answer?
Good AI systems fail safely. Bad ones fail silently.
3) Will I be able to use this without you?
If the system only works with the developer watching it, it is not a product.
4) What problem does this actually solve?
If that cannot be explained in one sentence, the build is probably wrong.
Most AI projects fail because people buy the tech before defining the problem.
That is the difference I focus on. Build the system after the problem is clear.
If you are evaluating AI work right now, these four questions will save you time and money.

Would "AI built it" be an acceptable explanation to your customer?
I use AI in my design process.
For research, it helps me organize information and explore questions.
For design thinking, it helps me challenge assumptions and explore different directions.
For inspiration, it helps me get unstuck.
But there's something I won't outsource:
My judgment.
I still have to understand the problem, question the suggestions, consider the user, make the design decisions and validate the experience.
AI can help generate the work faster.
But the people who approve and ship a product must own what reaches the user.
AI can assist the process. It cannot replace the responsibility behind the product.
