1. AI moves to the final output
The conversation around AI has shifted dramatically. Whether you love it or hate it, one thing's for sure: you can no longer ignore it.
Some, like creative director Michael Freimuth, are giving it a cautious welcome. "As a relatively early adopter, I've enjoyed seeing creatives become less intimidated by AI and more experimental with it," he says. "Using it in more practical applications as a tool has been a nice antidote to the 'deer in headlights' vibe from last year. Understanding its limits and strengths, as well as when it's creatively soul-sucking and awful versus experience enhancing, feels like progress."
