If AI agents start deciding for users, who fights for the guardrails? Principles fail—workflows win.

Your duty: Advocate where autonomy meets risk. Who's with me?

Operationalizing AI Ethics in Design: From High-Level Principles to Encapsulated Workflows » { design@tive } information design

How can designers operationalize AI ethics? Turn ethical principles into workflow guardrails that make agentic systems safe, fair, and contestable.

Agents are collapsing our workflows into invisible steps. If flows move “inside” the system, what should designers actually be designing: screens, or human–agent contracts? How are you handling authority, guardrails, and trust in your agentic products today? #HumanAgentCenteredDesign #HACD #AI

Workflow Encapsulation in Human–Agent Centered Design: From Doing Work to Governing Outcomes » { design@tive } information design

H-ACD's "Workflow Encapsulation" explains how to design for intent, authority, and governance when flows collapse and agents execute tasks on our behalf.

#AgenticAI experiences only “work” only when both humans and systems succeed in tandem. Not just one. This post explores how H-ACD’s "Dual Evaluation" principle helps build trust, create value, and make better product decisions. #Usability #HumanAgentCenteredDesign #AI #UX #artificialintelligence #UserExperience #UserResearch #Metrics #ProductManagement

Dual Evaluation: Measuring Both Human Experience and Agent Effectiveness » { design@tive } information design

H-ACD’s "Dual Evaluation" principle explains why great agentic experiences succeed only when both humans and agents perform well together.

We’ve spent decades perfecting user flows. But what happens when AI collapses the steps and users just express outcomes? Is “flow” still a useful concept in modern UX—or do we need a new mental model entirely? Let’s debate. #AI #AgenticAI #HumanAgentCenteredDesign #InteractionDesign #InterfaceDesign #UX #ConversationDesign #UXforAI

Flows in the Age of Agentic AI: Our Core UX Models No Longer Apply? » { design@tive } information design

Design is shifting from mapping steps to understanding intentions. What happens to user flows when Agents perform the work instead of humans?

As #AI makes concept design generation and #prototyping instantaneous, we risk confusing speed with insight. #DesignCritiques used to be about understanding intent — aligning teams around the “why” behind a solution. In the AI era, that discipline becomes even more critical.

- How can we anchor critiques in vision rather than fidelity?
- How can we use AI-generated prototypes as prompts for reflection and alignment, not as answers?

In an age of autonomous #AI agents, are traditional #HumanCentered methods of understanding user needs sufficient? In this article, I make an argument that Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) can help create intention-based designs that deliver Human-Agent Centered Experiences.

Jobs-to-Be-Done and Intention Mapping: Translating Human Needs into Agent Actions » { design@tive } information design

Jobs-to-Be-Done uncovers what people need, but in an agent-mediated world, we must translate those needs into actionable intentions.
