“Design decisions are disappearing” Not because we make fewer of them. But because we no longer see them. In traditional design processes, decisions were visible: – in sketches – in wireframes – in design rationales They were documented, discussed, and—crucially—traceable. Today, this is changing. When a system generates a layout, adapts a learning path, or recommends an option, the “decision” is no longer a moment we can point to. It is embedded in: – prompts – model parameters – training data – system configurations In other words: Decisions have moved from documents to systems. And with that, something fundamental is shifting. If decisions are no longer explicitly articulated… how do we understand them? How do we evaluate them? How do we take responsibility for them? This is not just a technical question. It’s a design question.
