GoKawiilOpinion piece argues designers should join AI product evaluation teams
A commentary argues that AI evaluations—the tests determining whether an AI feature is ready to launch—are typically run solely by engineers and product managers using scripts and dashboards. The author contends this excludes designers, who bring a different, underused perspective to judging AI product readiness.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The argument suggests that evaluation processes focused purely on quantitative metrics could miss usability and experience issues that only a design-oriented perspective would catch. If adopted, this view could push companies to restructure how they staff AI quality checks, broadening who gets a say in shipping decisions.
- AI evaluations are currently dominated by engineers and product managers.
- The piece argues designers offer a distinct, currently missing perspective.
- The argument is presented as opinion rather than reported company policy change.
