An interesting perspective on how AI is changing Information Architecture. As AI takes over finding and connecting information, UX design must rethink what AI should handle. #IA #AI linkedin.com/pulse/how-googl…

UX design is shifting from organizing interfaces and user flows to defining how people can understand, verify, and correct AI’s decisions. The challenge is not just reducing interactions, but designing the right balance between automation, transparency, and human control.

America.gov is fascinating. Built with the National Design Studio, it connects 29,000+ government websites through a single AI front door. Not just websites: User Intent → AI → Service This feels like one direction UX and service design are heading in the AI era.

Today we’re launching America.gov, a single front door to the federal government. Instead of opening a bunch of tabs across different agency sites and trying to figure out which information actually matters to you, you can ask America a question and get the relevant answer from across 29,000+ official government websites, with the source and what to do next.

UX design in the AI era is shifting from “making” to designing how far AI should make decisions. Alison Rand explored the “Judgment Layer” at #ShiftUX. Jonathan Walter frames AI systems in four layers: Generation / Recommendation / Autonomy / Judgment #UX #AI #IA

The key is the Judgment Layer: What should AI decide? When should humans step in? How confident should AI be before acting? With AI, we may need to preserve friction for confirmation and oversight. This feels close to the shift from Designer to Architect. #UX #AI #IA

Since I started using AI more deeply in my work, I’ve been thinking a lot about one question: What does it really mean to “work” or to “make” something? #IA #AI

In the past, a large part of the job was the act of making itself. Now, my role is increasingly to imagine the desired outcome, define the structure, organize the context and rules, and let AI execute much of the production. #IA #AI

Waymo uses this as a behavioral benchmark: how would a careful, competent human driver have responded? Previous models only captured last-second reflexes. This one reconstructs the full lead-up, including why the driver acted at that precise moment. techcrunch.com/2026/06/10/wa…

日経 Robotics「フィジカルAI 日本の処方箋」前後編を読んだ。 ・「9つの誤解」は全部「できない理由」 ・不確実性ゆえの躊躇が、かえって仇になる ・投資は国境を超える、海外資本は黙って見ていない ・やるかやらないかではなく、やるしかない 問いは「勝てるか」でなく「どこで・どう戦うか」。

フィジカルAIについては「米中が先行する中、日本は本当に大丈夫なのか」「現場データが日本の勝ち筋になるはずだ」「人手不足の打開策になる」など日本国内で様々な議論がなされてきましたが、一方で議論が紛糾し混乱しているようにも見受けられます。一部違和感のある言説も出てくるようになりました。そこでフィジカルAIについて俯瞰的な観点でまとめた総力特集「フィジカルAI 日本の処方箋」を日経Robotics 7月号で執筆・掲載しました。なぜフィジカルAIを巡る議論は混乱しやすいのか、日本としての打ち手はどうあるべきか、そもそもフィジカルAIとは何なのか、など多様なステークホルダーに取材し記事としてまとめました。ぜひご高覧いただければ幸いです。日経Roboticsとしては珍しく、なんと期間限定で全文を無償でご覧いただけます！ xtech.nikkei.com/atcl/nxt/ma… 日経Roboticsでは普段はWebでの全文公開は定期購読者様向けなのですが、今回は普段の技術解説記事というよりも、より広い層の方々を想定して執筆したため、フリーで公開しております。前編と後編の2本建て、紙版では40ページの特集となっておりやや長いのですが、期間限定公開ですので皆様、ぜひシェアいただければ幸いです。

One idea from this article resonated with me: the shift from “adaptive” AI to “developmental” AI. Instead of maximizing engagement, AI should support people when needed and gradually step back as they gain competence and confidence. @reallymdp joanganzcooneycenter.org/202…

This reminds me of the relationship between parents and children. Good parenting is not about creating dependence. It is about helping children become autonomous over time. Support is there when needed, but the goal is independence. Maybe AI should be designed the same way.

Ferrari’s first EV, with Jony Ive involved, offers a glimpse of what the Apple Car might have been. What stands out is the focus on physical controls rather than a giant touchscreen. Can Ferrari move beyond its traditional design language? Curious to see what comes next.

Of course, UX has never been only about screen design. Still, I found the shift from “designing” to “connecting” compelling. The designer’s role is increasingly about orchestrating relationships between people, AI, and organizations.

Key takeaways: • The competition is shifting from autonomous driving technology to business execution. • Fully driverless operation is still far from straightforward. • There is continued skepticism around Tesla’s robotaxi strategy. • Waymo remains the clear leader.

This is something I’ve been feeling recently as well. Generative AI is not really replacing anything. It feels more like a very fast environment for trial and error. In the context of IA, it’s a tool for exploring structures, testing relationships, and accelerating thought.
