What you'll learn
55 minutes of joyful competition
Come prepared for a fun hands-on session. We compare results, talk about what happened, and reflect on implications.
Experience what happens. One team gets AI. One doesn't.
Teams all get the same ridiculous design brief (e.g. create a journey map for a carrier pigeon delivering a subpoena).
How does the presence of AI change design output?
Does AI make us better or worse? What happens when we remove it? How do we balance human creativity and AI support?
Why this topic matters
AI can help us produce more faster. But to get high quality output, we must know when to use it and when to turn it away from it to avoid 'cognitive surrender'.
As design professionals, we must regularly exercise our unaided creativity to stay fresh and build habits that reinforce our creative confidence and keep us in control of creative direction.
