TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
We’re asking why our organizations are failing at AI adoption despite having the tools, arguing that the real friction lies in a cultural gap where staff see higher expectations rather than better working conditions. Paul Boag and Kate Agena highlight how ignoring personal benefit and treating knowledge as silos breaks the user experience, while Nick Babich shows how we must shift our expertise from pixel-perfect execution to higher-level information architecture. In The Thread, we confront the uncomfortable reality that while AI speeds up production, we’re still relying on gut feeling to judge quality, leaving us unable to articulate why one design choice is better than another.
