This is episode 26 and we’re discussing Designing a New Relationship with AI. This is the most important episode yet, because we discuss:
➤ Shifting our mindsets about AI, design, and value creation
➤ Just because something is faster doesn't mean it's of quality
➤ The great responsibility of designers to question our work
➤ Challenge yourself & experiment or you will get left behind
➤ Consumers will put money towards experiences that are valuable
