Design AI-powered experiences that people understand, value, use, and trust. Lead new ways of building product, such as unlocking designers to ship code in production\nAccountability: Establish quality standards for AI-augmented work across your team. Define guardrails for AI-powered experiences that balance innovation with user trust. Own the outcomes not just of your own work, but the quality bar for how AI is used across the designers you influence.
