Windows 11’s design boss admits it needs work, while AI fixes OS inconsistencies
Microsoft’s VP of Product Design Diego Baca has acknowledged that Windows 11 requires ongoing design improvements while discussing how artificial intelligence is being leveraged to accelerate the design process. According to Baca, AI has already enabled the design team to work more efficiently and has contributed to code fixes that improve consistency and overall quality across the operating system.
The statement reflects broader efforts at Microsoft to address long-standing design inconsistencies in Windows 11. Baca indicated that designers are now able to contribute directly to code improvements, suggesting closer integration between design and engineering teams powered by AI assistance.
