Design Thinking in the Age of AI: A Human-Centred Guide to Thinking, Creating, and Leading with Empathy in a World Shaped by Algorithms

By Bhupendra Kumar Verma

When did you last sit with a problem long enough to discover it was a different problem from the one you thought you had?Design Thinking in the Age of AI guides you through five stages - Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test - that move you from the problem you assume you have to the problem you actually have. Then it shows you how AI transforms every stage.Hear patterns across hundreds of conversations in minutes. Stress-test your problem statement before you build. Generate a hundred ideas in the time it once took to generate five. Know how your prototype will fail - before real people tell you.Not AI instead of human judgment. AI in service of it.Not all problems are the same kind. Some live in your daily work. Some in the people you serve. Some in the future you haven't committed to. Some in systems that shape lives at a scale no single decision can reach. One process. Four quadrants. Every kind of problem.Every chapter ends with a tested AI prompt - forty in total, one for every stage, every quadrant, every stuck moment.Essential reading for entrepreneurs, product managers, designers and researchers, innovation consultants and strategists, and academics and students.BHUPENDRA KUMAR VERMA is a design thinker and AI practitioner with over two decades of professional experience. He believes the hardest part of design thinking is not the process - it is the willingness to stay with a problem long enough to understand it.
