# designers and product people in the ai era, on dux

A panel talk on Çağdaş's dux channel with my friend Nazlı, about how AI landed in design and product work, ethics, and whether it will take our jobs.

In November 2025 I joined my dear friend Çağdaş on his dux channel, together with my friend Nazlı, for an episode called "AI Çağında Soyu Tükenme Tehlikesi Altındaki Tasarımcılar / Ürünciler". In English that's roughly designers and product people facing extinction in the AI era.

We talked about how AI was received in our own corners of the industry, and whether our ways of working really changed or not. Then we got into whether using AI is ethical, and of course the big one, whether AI is going to take our jobs (spoiler, we said no).

It's in Turkish and runs a bit over an hour, so it's more of a long panel chat than a formal talk. To be honest, that was the point. We laughed a lot, and if you're tired of people discussing AI in a very serious tone, this one is for you.
