About this Specialization
Get ready to build the generative AI (GenAI) skills employers need and future-proof your UI/UX career! 

Recruiters are actively looking for design professionals who can combine creativity and expert design thinking with AI fluency. This IBM specialization gives you the practical skills and understanding you need to work with popular AI tools confidently and enhance every stage of the UI and UX design process.  From ideation to prototyping and delivering innovative user experiences, you can leverage GenAI to work faster and smarter. 

During this specialization, you will: 
  • Build the job-ready skills to design innovative UI/UX solutions, and create dynamic, personalized user experiences and interfaces (UX UI), powered by GenAI 
  • Master the fundamentals of generative AI and explore real-world applications across text, images, audio, video, design, and data 
  • Apply prompt engineering techniques to craft precise prompts and generate creative, usable design outputs 
  • Learn to use a variety of AI tools, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, IBM WatsonX, Miro, Figma, Uizard, Visily, and UXPilot, for faster ideation, automated prototyping, design personalization, and streamlined user testing 
 
Program overview 
During this program, you’ll learn how to use generative AI to ideate faster, automate repetitive design tasks, and produce innovative, user-centered solutions. Through guided projects and real-world design challenges, you’ll explore how AI can assist in user research, journey mapping, prototyping, and usability testing. Plus, you’ll gain valuable hands-on experience using leading tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, IBM WatsonX, Miro, Figma, Uizard, Visily, and UXPilot to generate ideas, create design assets, and evaluate user feedback effectively. 
 
As you progress, you’ll also gain experience in prompt engineering, multimodal design generation, and conversational UX. And you’ll learn how to apply human-centered design principles to ensure that AI-powered interfaces remain accessible, ethical, and inclusive. 
 
The program then culminates in a project where you’ll apply your new skills to design a complete, AI-enhanced user experience, demonstrating your ability to merge design creativity with emerging technologies. By the end, you will have the skills to bring generative AI into your UI/UX design workflow, create dynamic and adaptive interfaces, and stay ahead in the evolving world of digital product design.
