Design's importance is growing, not shrinking: 90% say design matters at least as much as before AI, and 60% say it matters more. The report also identifies four AI adoption patterns — grassroots, directive, nascent, and unified — and argues the real goal is unified adoption where individuals and organizations move forward together. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
