I'm an art director and photo editor. I'm a mentor, a teacher, a writer, and a public speaker. Just like you, I’ve been increasingly curious about the conversations surrounding creativity and artificial intelligence. I wonder about the impact it will have on my career in the creative industry. I created THE GRAIN to be a platform for meaningful dialogue with critical thinkers, and to share them with you. Leave your comments or write me at ronit@thegrain.ai.
Here are some newsworthy insights I’ve recently shared about the impact of artificial intelligence on our creative industry: How the new iconic photo of Donald Trump makes a case for supporting professional photojournalism, contemplating how the lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic can be applied to conquering our current challenges, and some takeaways from watching the first Miss AI receive her tiara.
