HOW AI CHANGES THIS JOBtyping the logic in plain English
01>Start with the real work done by Web and Digital Interface Designers.
02>AI can help with: Organize role-specific information and routine work.
03>If a task is repetitive and easy to check, AI pressure goes up.
04>But a person is still needed for: System accountability and architecture judgment.
05>Likely result: AI is more likely to change this job than remove it.
06>Important: 46% is estimated task exposure—not a 46% chance of losing the job.
