This role focuses on making complex AI behaviour - retrieval, uncertainty, hallucination risk, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints - understandable and trustworthy for government users, while meeting GOV.UK Service Standard expectations., User Research & Discovery Conduct user research with internal government users and stakeholders to understand tasks, pain points, and trust concerns around AI-assisted workflows, feeding findings into design and product decisions. Interaction Design for AI Workflows Design end-to-end user journeys for RAG-based question-answering, agentic workflows, and human-in-the-loop review steps, ensuring users understand what the AI is doing, where information comes from, and when human judgement is required. Responsible AI UX Translate guardrails and human-in-the-loop checkpoints defined by policy/technical leads into clear, usable interface patterns (e.g. confidence indicators, source citations, escalation flows) - an execution and craft role, not a policy-setting one. Prototyping & Testing Produce wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs (e.g. in Figma); run usability testing sessions with real users and iterate designs based on findings and evaluation metrics from the engineering team. Design System Stewardship Ensure all designs align with, and where necessary extend, the GOV.UK Design System, maintaining consistency across the platform. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with Product, UI Developers, and AI/Backend engineers to ensure designs are technically feasible and correctly implemented, and to align on evaluation-driven iteration. Documentation & Handover Contribute UX rationale, research findings, and design decisions to "Docs-as-Code" artifacts supporting the OKUA knowledge-transfer framework. ## Related Videos - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Your imaginations is (no longer) the limit: how Generative AI empowers people to be creative](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/741-your-imaginations-is-no-longer-the-limit-how-generative-ai-empowers-people-to-be-creative) - [Insight into AI-Driven Design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1016-insight-into-ai-driven-design) - [Should we build Generative AI into our existing software?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1129-should-we-build-generative-ai-into-our-existing-software) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) ## Related Articles - [The future is here: How artificial intelligence is influencing UX design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/65-the-future-is-here-how-artificial-intelligence-is-influencing-ux-design) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
