Why Future UX Will Slow Down on Purpose: The Trust‑Latency Gap

As AI pushes decision‑making to millisecond speeds, products that are too fast can erode user trust, so designers must deliberately introduce strategic friction—slowing interactions where impact is high or reversibility low—to align system latency with human confidence.
