Is ux designer work AI-proof?

The honest read
Wireframing and research synthesis accelerate. Understanding real user behaviour does not.

Framing follows the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025 and PwC Global AI Jobs Barometer 2025: most roles see task-level augmentation rather than wholesale replacement.
