# Which design system is the most AI-ready?

This report does not rank systems, and “AI-ready” is not a field in the data. What exists is
`ai_maturity`, an editorial rating with three values in use: ai-native (13
systems), invested (5), emerging (1).

ai-native: [Ant Design](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/ant-design.md), [Atlassian Design System](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/atlassian-design-system.md), [Carbon Design System](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/carbon-design-system.md), [Chakra UI](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/chakra-ui.md), [daisyUI](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/daisyui.md), [HeroUI](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/heroui.md), [Nuxt UI](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/nuxt-ui.md), [PatternFly](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/patternfly.md), [Primer](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/primer-github.md), [React Spectrum / Spectrum 2 (S2)](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/react-spectrum-s2.md), [Salesforce Lightning Design System](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/salesforce-slds.md), [shadcn/ui](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/shadcn-ui.md), [Shopify Polaris](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/shopify-polaris.md).

invested: [Cloudscape Design System](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/cloudscape-design-system.md), [Mantine](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/mantine.md), [Material UI (MUI)](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/material-ui.md), [Microsoft Fluent UI](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/fluent-ui-microsoft.md), [Nord Design System](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/nord-design-system.md).

emerging: [U.S. Web Design System (USWDS)](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/systems/uswds.md).

The rating measures how much of the machine-facing surface a system has built, not how well it
works. Nobody in this study published head-to-head quality numbers that would support a ranking, and
the maturity call is one rubric applied by one person. Read the caveats at https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/methodology.md
