Navigating unknown unknowns

Uncertainty is part of the job—especially when it comes to AI. But with the right mindset, you can expand your set of tools and build for what's next with confidence.

As UX professionals, we're trained to uncover user needs, test assumptions, and measure outcomes. But what happens when the problems we're solving haven't fully emerged yet, or we don't know how users will interact with a product?   In this AI era ripe with unknown unknowns, our traditional toolkits are being challenged. Meet these challenges head on, whether it's defining success metrics for generative AI tools, researching products that don't exist yet, or identifying needs users can't yet articulate.     How do you handle the unknown? Let us know in the People Nerds' Slack Channel. - The People Nerds Team   Your future product might be up in the air, but how we explore it doesn't have to be.
