What problem are you trying to solve, and why should people care?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is rapidly becoming part of UX designers\u2019 everyday work. It can help generate design concepts, speed up repetitive tasks, and spot patterns in large-scale data. That sounds promising, &nbsp;but also unsettling: as AI takes on more tasks, how do designers avoid over-relying on it, and how might it influence designers\u2019 creativity, ownership, and professional development? These questions become even more urgent in high-stakes contexts such as truck interaction design, where design decisions can influence safety-critical systems and long-term sustainability goals. In such contexts, designers cannot simply trust AI outputs at face value. They need support that is useful, but also transparent, grounded in real-world practice, and open to scrutiny.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/04\/Roy_thesispic-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/04\/Roy_thesispic-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/04\/Roy_thesispic-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/04\/Roy_thesispic-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/04\/Roy_thesispic-1536x768.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/04\/Roy_thesispic-1320x660.png 1320w, https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/04\/Roy_thesispic.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. What are you actually doing to tackle it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My project explores how AI tools can be designed to support meaningful collaboration between designers and AI. I adopt a human-centered approach and work closely with professional designers in truck interaction design to understand what they need from AI, what they expect from it, and how they actually engage with it. To explore this, I carried out interviews, observations, and engaged designers in co-designing and evaluating an AI-supported prototype. Across these studies, AI-supported data sensemaking became the central&nbsp;focus, informing high-stakes design decisions&nbsp;with user scenarios derived from&nbsp;real-world data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. What difference could this make?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, we are still quite far from the kind of designer\u2013AI collaboration we often imagine. Human collaboration involves communication, shared goals, negotiation, and mutual support, while AI is still limited in its ability to participate in that kind of relationship. This is why the design of AI tools matters so much: AI can be powerful, but it can also be harmful if it is introduced in ways that reduce human judgment, hide uncertainty, or encourage over-reliance. In the short term, my work shows how AI can help designers explore user scenarios in large-scale data and identify where deeper qualitative research is needed. In the longer term, it contributes to a better understanding of the elements that shape the dynamics of designer\u2013AI collaboration and of what must be designed thoughtfully to support responsible use in high-stakes contexts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-2126 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-phd-students tag-design-games-framework tag-nicolenorris tag-participatory-design tag-phd-student tag-rebel tag-social-innovation\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/2026\/04\/08\/the-rebel-phd-student-nicole-norris\/\" target=\"_self\" >The REBEL PhD Student: Nicole Norris<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-date\"><time datetime=\"2026-04-08T10:00:00+02:00\">8 April 2026<\/time><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">My PhD project reflects my work in Canada at the intersection of non-urban and semi-rural place-led participatory design and social innovation.
