AI is making it cheaper and faster to build almost anything — but that doesn’t mean human expertise matters less. According to Figma’s Andrew Hogan, it means judgment matters more. In this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast, Owen Rask sits down with Andrew Hogan to unpack what AI is really changing inside teams, products and businesses. They explore why the cost of creation is collapsing, why good design is becoming even more valuable, and why the best operators will be the ones who can assess ideas, communicate clearly and make better decisions faster. Andrew explains how prototyping is changing, why senior designers may become more important rather than less, and how AI is shifting the edge from production to taste, direction and execution. It’s a sharp conversation about technology, business models and where durable value might sit as generative tools improve. If you work in design, product, investing, startups or tech, this episode will help you think more clearly about where AI creates leverage — and where human judgment still wins.
