AI Foundations & Design Thinking

Overview

Track 1 of AI Powered UX Design lays the foundation for a transformative learning journey, blending broad design principles with AI-driven insights for user experience. Learners begin with a holistic understanding of creative design, exploring AI fundamentals, design thinking, and ethical practices that shape responsible, user-centered solutions. This track is the first of three integrated tracks that together form the full AI Powered UX Design certification. Track 1 provides the broad foundational knowledge, which is then expanded in Track 2 and Track 3 into specialized tools, workflows, and strategic implementation for UX and AI-driven design. While there may be minor overlaps between general design and UX topics, this structure ensures a seamless, integrated learning experience that prepares learners to tackle advanced AI-powered design workflows. Through self-paced, hands-on learning, participants develop the ability to integrate AI into creative processes, make data-informed decisions, and apply design thinking with ethical and practical considerations. The AI Powered UX Design certification is awarded upon successful completion of all three tracks, including assessments and the capstone project.
