‘Track 3: AI Strategy, Future Trends & Professional Practice’ is designed to help you step back from tools and workflows to see the bigger picture: how AI can strategically transform design and UX practices. Building on the skills gained in Tracks 1 and 2, learners explore AI-driven strategy, emerging technologies, ethical implementation, and professional best practices. You’ll gain insights into anticipating future trends, designing for scale, and integrating AI thoughtfully into real-world workflows.

This track emphasizes practical application, guiding learners through a Capstone project that requires synthesizing AI tools, user research, personalization, and strategic planning to deliver impactful design solutions. Optional modules on AI agents allow you to experiment with cutting-edge AI applications in design and UX. While there may be minor overlaps with previous tracks, these reinforce key concepts while shifting the focus toward strategic thinking and professional execution. Completion of all three tracks, along with passing the exams for both AI+ Design™ and AI+ UX Designer™, is required to earn the AI Powered UX Design certification—a credential that demonstrates not just technical proficiency, but the ability to lead AI-powered design initiatives with foresight and impact.
