Chatbots are not the final interface: OpenAI’s Head of Design on what’s next | Ian Silber

Ian Silber, head of product design at OpenAI, discusses why designers report the most career unhappiness of any tech role even as he calls this the best time in history to be a designer, describing how AI tools compress ideation while the messy iterative design process itself hasn't sped up as much as engineering. He covers what makes a product "AI native," why systems thinking and curiosity matter more than AI background when hiring, and his path from Groupon and Instagram to OpenAI.
