In this episode we interview Jamie Munger, Director of Strategy at Smart Design. Jamie discusses how AI and emerging technologies are impacting creative work and design processes. She shares insights from research her team has conducted with artists, designers, and creative technologists on their perspectives and concerns around using AI tools.
Jamie highlights some key benefits of incorporating AI into creative practices, such as increased efficiency, ability to explore new mediums, and access to a vast training data library. However, she also outlines risks like potential job losses, consent issues around training data, devaluation of human-created work, and lack of originality.
A major part of the discussion focuses on reframing how we think about AI's role, moving away from just seeing it as an "assistant" for productivity. Jamie presents alternative metaphors positioning AI as a creative collaborator that can enable perspective-taking, democratize design processes, facilitate cross-disciplinary communication, and allow more candid user research on sensitive topics.
