After discovering the value of UI Tenets & Traps for UI evaluation and design, and understanding the nuances involved in deploying AI into a UI experience, I wanted to create my own version of Tenets and Traps specifically for designing and evaluating AI UI experiences.

The combination divides AI UI design best practices into 8 Tenets:
From my experience and based on the combined tenets, I outline seventeen Traps to help others plan, design and evaluate AI user interfaces.
I was invited to speak on this topic during a UXDX webinar in May of 2024. you can view the recording of the 20 minute presentation below:
