Blurring Roles and Sharpening Skills: The Paradox of AI and Collaboration

Everything we thought we knew about building great products is changing… or is it?

Developers and designers are staying in sync and working more efficiently than ever before with tools like Figma’s Dev Mode. At the same time, new research shows that AI is blurring the boundaries between disciplines across the team. Yet as collaboration deepens and roles broaden, domain expertise isn’t disappearing—it remains essential to building great products.
