As AI becomes a fixture in the modern workplace, we need to start thinking about design literacy for non-designers. I was recently chatting about emerging technology with a creative director at one of my favorite New York agencies, and his approach to artificial intelligence took me by surprise. While there is a lot of speculation about whether AI is a friend or a foe right now, he was steadfast in his belief that AI is firmly in the friend category.For him, AI can serve as a valuable colleague—a creative partner, so to speak—that can generate ideas, provide fodder for creative riffing, and ultimately bolster team output.
