E310 - Congratulations! You are now responsible for whatever AI just did

12/1/2025
This week on Human Factors Cast, Nick Roome and Barry Kirby dive into how AI is reshaping human factors and UX roles. First, we discuss seven emerging jobs due to AI, such as AI decision auditor and transparency designer. We debate which roles are actually new versus functions human factors professionals already perform. Then, we explore the implications of AI in creative fields and education. How should we adapt our teaching methods to integrate AI as a tool rather than a substitute? Plus, real-world examples of how AI changes jobs rather than eliminates them. If you're involved in human factors, UX, or system design, this is a must-listen for integrating AI into your work and the critical importance of AI governance and ethics.
