      abstract = {AI is changing the UX/UI design landscape, affecting creative processes, operational efficiency and professional ethics. AI tools streamline design workflows by automating repetitive tasks, generating design suggestions and user behaviour analysis, making us more productive. But the impact on creativity is debated ? some say AI fosters innovation by providing data driven insights, others warn against over reliance which can stifle originality. Operational efficiency gains are visible in rapid prototyping, A/B testing automation and personalised user experiences. AI can analyse vast amounts of data so designers can make informed decisions, reducing time to market. But there are ethical concerns around data privacy, algorithmic bias and job displacement. Designers need to balance AI driven efficiency with human centric values to get equitable and transparent outcomes. We need to look at the ethics of AI in UX/UI design especially around accountability and not dark patterns. As AI evolves we need to collaborate with AI not replace it. This report shows we need ethical frameworks and adaptive skills to align AI with human creativity and user centred design.},
