Why technology can change this work

  • generative models rapidly create visual variants
  • routine layouts and format adaptations can be automated
  • a large share of textual, analytical or information tasks is accessible to current AI models
  • a significant share of operations repeats along a stable workflow
  • the main inputs and outputs already exist in a digital environment
  • prototypes can be built from text descriptions

What protects the occupation

  • art direction and coherent visual systems
  • user research and problem framing
  • distinctive style, taste and design accountability
