Description
Massive disruption and job insecurity started for design professionals long before AI; with each technological advancement, the role of the designer changed. From Gutenberg to metal type, from photo typesetting to the first Mac and Adobe software – and more recently, the advent of the Internet – seismic shifts have changed what it means to be a designer. Here John explores such questions as: Will AI make designers more creative? Will AI replace designers? How can AI be a tool that gives designers more power and flexibility?
