In pursuit of simplicity – UX Romandie 2015Zoltan Gocza
Simplicity is the rallying cry that unites designers. We now live in the era of flat design, minimal interfaces, hamburger menus, and doppelganger websites. When we thought the three-click rule was dead, comes the two-tap rule.
But should simplicity be the ultimate goal? Design decisions aiming for reduction often introduce more friction and cognitive load, leading to a more complex user experience. Simple-looking products often carry hidden complexity. Simplicity can easily be a “neat, plausible, and wrong” solution to a problem.
Let's dive into the idea of simplicity and dissect it. Let’s have a look at what simplicity really means, whether it's really what people want, and how on Earth do we end up having complicated products.
What is easier to decide, building a nuclear reactor or building a bicycle shed? Why do photographers put moles on models’ faces? Should you trust a designer acting on a hunch? Should you trust any individual at all or should you go for the wisdom of crowds? Or decide based on guidelines? I'll talk about such things, or something very similar. I haven't really decided yet.

Design in the age of AI – Frontend Conference Zurich, 2017Zoltan Gocza
We are entering the age of machine intelligence. Facebook knows we started a new relationship sooner than our friends. Google composes automatic replies for the emails we receive. We request rides or order pizzas by simply chatting with a bot or talking to a home assistant like Amazon Echo. What’s more, we even trust billions of our savings to automated robo-advisors like Wealthfront or the Swiss Truewealth.
Packing machine intelligence into our products makes a great difference to the user experience and brings new forms of human-computer interaction to life. And with those come new challenges.
Let’s see how design will transform in the age of AI. What are the trends in designing for AI? What are the challenges and pitfalls? How will the focus of product design shift in the future? And will robots replace designers?
