Mind the AI Gaps in UX Research: Toward Deeper Insight Beyond the Hype
Drawing from testing across 28 languages, Lindsey will unpack the disconnect between what AI tools promise, what they deliver, and what’s on the horizon. She’ll discuss with us technical performance and output quality alongside cultural nuance and the digital divide.
