Systems Ops: Creating Design Systems for Humans and Machines

Keynote

For creative teams, design systems have been foundational to scaling creative work, maintaining brand consistency, and creating cost efficiencies. But as AI becomes an active participant in the creative process, these systems now have to serve two audiences: the humans building with them and the machines increasingly working alongside them. This interactive session combines discussion and hands-on workshopping to explore how design systems are evolving for an AI-enabled future. Examine practical approaches, share experiences, and evaluate how current systems can better support both human and machine collaborators.

Key Takeaways

How design systems need to evolve to support both creative teams and AI workflows
Documentation as infrastructure and organizing design as structured data
Platform-agnostic architecture and building systems that aren’t dependent on any single tool
A collaborative audit framework participants can use to assess where their design systems stand today, identify gaps, and define a path forward
