SXSW 2025

AI Isn’t Killing Human Creativity and Why It Never Will

Description:

We’ve all seen the dystopian-feeling iPad ad showing technology crushing specialized art forms. The backlash was swift, and a similar sentiment is being projected onto the rise of AI. While AI’s potential is promising, it’s also terrifying for designers who see it as a replacement for human creativity. In this session, Phil Maggs, Director of Generative AI Excellence at Superside, joined by Jessie Hughes, Senior Creative Technologist, Leonardo.Ai, and Rory Flynn, Founder at Systematiq AI, will discuss how brands can leverage AI to multiply human creativity. They'll explain the systems they use to ensure humanity remains central in the design process.
