People will always need to trust the human behind any decision-making
Designers fearing obsolescence should reframe AI as a tool for clearing administrative bloat rather than a replacement for human creative judgment.
What: Kat Wong, founder of the career platform Oh Yeah, advises creatives to form internal working groups to identify where AI can remove repetitive tasks. She argues that leadership often focuses on the speed of AI at the expense of culture, and that human craft and storytelling remain the core value propositions that AI cannot replicate.
Takeaway: If your company is pushing AI tools, form a collaborative working group with fellow early adopters to define how these tools improve your specific workflows, rather than letting management dictate them solely for speed.

Human judgment, craft, and storytelling remain essential. Companies should focus on using AI to support—not replace—creative professionals.
