#### Weekly curated resources for designers — thinkers and makers.

Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and, more specifically, Machine Learning are pervasive in our daily lives. From Facebook ads to YouTube recommendations; from Siri to Google Assistant; and from automated translation of device notice to marketing personalization tools; AI now deeply permeates both our work and personal lives.

This article is a compilation of three small pieces that advocate for renewed UX research efforts in ML apps.

### Make me think

*   [**Crediting contributors in design systems**](https://amyhupe.co.uk/articles/crediting-design-system-contributors/) **→**  
    “Can we recognise design system contributors with a public acknowledgement of their work on a component or pattern? Or can we award individuals a contributor “status”, by naming them in design system documentation, putting their picture in a digital wall of fame, or sending them a sticker?”
*   [**How harmful is social media?**](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/we-know-less-about-social-media-than-we-think) **→**  
    “There’s a general sense that it’s bad for society — which may be right. But studies offer surprisingly few easy answers.”

### Tools and resources

*   [**Figma responsive cards**](https://uxdesign.cc/how-to-create-responsive-cards-with-the-help-of-auto-layout-in-figma-f7b2f3841d89) **→**  
    Creating responsive cards with the help of auto-layout.
