OK, AI Everything. What now? What next?
With AI-fatigue shaping our collective experience of technology, it’s time to rethink how AI manifests in society. Beyond the hype, urgency, overpromise, and superficial design, we need a sustainable path toward a future in which the design of AI experiences benefits humanity and adds value instead of confusion and overwhelm. How can product designers contribute to this course correction? This talk introduces a framework to help the design industry pause, reflect, recalibrate, then move from noise to meaning and from chaos to intention. An attempt to redefine “progress” in 2026.
Ioana Teleanu is a multidisciplinary product design leader specializing in AI-powered products. She shaped the experience of Miro AI as their Lead Product Designer for AI. Previously, she worked at UiPath on Clipboard AI, which was granted Time Magazine’s ‘Best Invention of 2023’ award. She’s the creator and instructor of one of the most successful courses on AI for Designers, launched on Interaction Design Foundation. She also partners up as a content ambassador with brands such as Anthropic, Framer, Lovable, and more.
The keynote is part of the the second edition of the AI in Art Practices and Research international conference, organized by UNATC in Bucharest from 23–26 October 2025. The event explores the impact of AI on artistic creation and research, as well as its broader applications in society, such as accessibility, healthcare and well-being.
