Just throwing a stone in water here. How do you think AI and new tech will change our jobs in the next 10 years?

Personally i've seen tools and technology evolving a lot since i started back in 2010 being a professionist (hey, i started pretty young i'm not that old).

I'm seeing our dear softwares and as well external plugins, actions, resources becoming more and more efficient.
We will ever get to a point where an AI would be able to replace us or do you think creativity and creative thinking in genral isn't something that you can recreate in an algorythm?

Let me know what do you think

  • Thanks for sharing guys, I always find interesting how technlogy are putting humans in a position to really start give values to what makes us special and kind of unique on this planet.

    i think we're gonna see (and we are already seeing) a bit of a new industrial revolution that will be kind of the opposite of the first one if we're talking about value for the human being involved into it.

  • Hi Gianluigi,

    I did a lot of research on this a couple of years ago and am confident as creatives, we'll be okay. From my findings:

    They don’t know the techniques that come from learning the craft. They don’t have the popular culture references that help us play into a current trend. They don’t have any imagination, and they don’t have those wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night I’ve-got-it moments.

  • Artificial intelligence is simply the simulation or imitation of intelligent behavior in computers. I believe AI and its subset disciplines are simply going to change the way we work—not take over our work. I also believe, it's time to shift our mindset from a Human vs. Machine to a Human plus Machine mindset. There are a lot of misconceptions about AI out there. Becoming familiar with AI will ignite new thinking and shift approaches. AI in design will be more about designing remarkable experiences, creating better products and services, and improving people's lives.

    AI is narrow and very focused. AI is good at accomplishing pre-defined, specific tasks. All of those tasks have to be given to the system, they don’t operate on their own, independently. I mean, do machines have feelings, desires, and aspirations? Do machines have senses? A sense of smell, taste or touch? No. Those are all human qualities. Humans are endowed with a spirit and intelligence unmatched in the universe. AI doesn’t have the ability to contemplate the past or imagine the future.

    What we need to do is let machines do what they do best: collecting, sorting, and analyzing data; optimizing, pattern recognition and rapid learning. And let designers do what they do best: creativity, insight, abstract thinking—making unusual and innovative connections between things. We can take advantage of AI in never before seen ways because we can use the technology to augment us.

    We need to consider AI not as “artificial” but “augmented intelligence.” In fact, Ginni Rometty, the ex-CEO of IBM (a heavy-weight in AI) at one point said that she preferred the term “augmented intelligence.”
  • There are already so many platforms around for non-designers to make themselves a logo or build themselves a website. But I would say (speaking very generally!) that the type of people/clients using these type of technologies would be working with smaller budgets and not necessarily have strategy-led design thinking, which is something AI will never be able to replace.
