Podcast based on\u00a0an interview by Catalina Mihai <\/strong>(podcast edited by Madalina Mihai).<\/span><\/p>\n

In a world obsessed with speed, optimisation and constant productivity, designer Ioana Teleanu sees something unexpected: Gen Z is slowing down \u2014 on purpose.<\/p>\n

After analysing recent research on the generation, Teleanu says today\u2019s young people have a different relationship with technology than the one adults developed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGen Z is tougher on technology. They set boundaries. They don\u2019t want everything to be faster or more optimised. They want friction \u2014 because that\u2019s where real growth happens.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AI comments everywhere \u2014 and the risk of losing human voice\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Teleanu says one of the strangest online trends is happening on LinkedIn, where many users rely on generative AI to write comments or replies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI instantly recognise AI-written comments. And they\u2019re not made by bots \u2014 they\u2019re made by people letting AI speak for them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem, she explains, isn\u2019t the tool \u2014 it\u2019s giving up your own voice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I stop talking to you and start talking to what a system writes for you, the essence of communication disappears.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Europe vs. the U.S.: Two digital cultures, two different mindsets<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After a recent trip to San Francisco \u2014 the capital of global tech \u2014 Teleanu noticed a clear contrast between the two sides of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the U.S., technology feels like a constant race: pitching, optimising, scaling, accelerating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re not in tech, you almost feel like you don\u2019t belong. Everything is uniform, everyone is selling something. It\u2019s a bit dystopian.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Europe remains more human-centred: \u201cEuropeans still ask questions: What\u2019s ethical? How do we protect people? What happens to our data? There\u2019s still a social and philosophical layer.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A gap in education \u2014 and why universities can\u2019t keep up\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Teleanu points out that formal education has fallen behind the pace of innovation.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Curricula change slowly; technology changes weekly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe academic world is always one step behind \u2014 sometimes ten. Students realised that to work in tech, it\u2019s better to learn directly from people already in the industry.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Romania, she says, this gap has been even more visible. <\/span>
\n<\/span>She founded a design school to cover exactly this need \u2014 and it filled up quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Responsibility, AI literacy, and the role of experts\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

For Teleanu, responsibility doesn\u2019t start with institutions \u2014 it starts with individuals and communities who teach, share, and help others adapt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStates need to adapt fast. We need AI literacy. We need people to understand what they use and why.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But many countries \u2014 even the U.S. \u2014 are still far behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gen Z: more responsible, more aware, less impressed by hype\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Teleanu\u2019s biggest insight is also the most hopeful one:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGen Z uses AI more responsibly than we do. They\u2019re not impressed by everything being 10x faster. They want meaning. They want balance.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve grown up surrounded by technology, and precisely because of that, they set limits early. <\/span>
\n<\/span>They ask what technology does to them \u2014 not only what it does for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey face a bigger digital danger than we did, and they know it. That\u2019s why they put up boundaries. And that\u2019s healthy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A career built on design, ethics, and community\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

With over 15 years in multinational tech companies and roles at UiPath and Miro, Teleanu has helped shape major AI-driven products \u2014 including Clipboard AI, named <\/span>Time Magazine\u2019s Best Invention of 2023<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, she\u2019s a consultant and the creator of Uxgoodies, a global community where thousands learn about design and AI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to make people in tech feel less alone. That\u2019s what community is for.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The future? Messy, fast \u2014 but not hopeless\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Despite the uncertainty, Teleanu believes Gen Z brings something essential to the table: <\/span>
\n<\/span>a sense of responsibility and a refusal to be overwhelmed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology can be overwhelming. They know that. And they draw the line. That\u2019s something we can all learn from.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
