Design Review
A New Paradigm in Technology Design in the AI Age
As we stand at the crossroads of design and artificial intelligence, the way we approach technology is rapidly evolving. Traditional design principles are being redefined to accommodate systems that anticipate, adapt, and even empathize with user needs.
This shift challenges us to rethink what “good design” means in a world increasingly shaped by AI.
What Makes Good Design in Today’s Tech Landscape?
Good design isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about intention, usability, and ethics.
Through this Design Review process, I delve into how evolving technologies and ethical AI design intersect with established design philosophies, exploring questions like:
• How do AI-driven technologies embody good design principles?
• What ethical considerations emerge in this new design landscape?
• How does design change when technology anticipates human needs?
Defining Good Design
The Core of Good Design: From Rams to AI Ethics
Dieter Rams’ 10 Principles:
Rams believed that good design should be innovative, functional, and environmentally friendly. These principles have shaped modern design thinking.
AI’s New Lens on Design:
AI introduces layers like emotional resonance, user empowerment, and ethical transparency.
“Good design is as little design as possible.” — Dieter Rams

Future Design Directions
What’s Next for Good AI Design?
• How can AI-driven wearables create more personal, human-centered interactions?
• What role do emotion and ethics play in shaping tomorrow’s tech?
• How can devices become true co-pilots rather than replacements?
Still a WIP to answer these questions, through my experiments and research!
