CONFIG EXCLUSIVE: OpenAI Head of Product Design, Ian Silber (
@iansilber)
"Technology has always changed very fast, but it's never changed quite like this."
"A lot of assumptions you can throw out the window... you can start to reinvent things.
We're starting to get into the world of generative UI... and I think that's an exciting future. We're just at the beginning phases of that."
On whether AI k*lls design:
"I actually think the role of design hasn't changed at all."
"Great designers are really thinking about the psychology of how someone interacts with something."
