Episode 193: Let's Talk About Generative AI with Erin Cadigan (and Dustin, too)
Manage episode 402787299 series 2822024
In this episode, Amanda is joined by artist and print designer Erin Cadigan to talk about how AI impacts the world of print design and really, all creative jobs. Erin is the print designer for UK slow fashion brand The Hippie Shake. You will get to hear about the importance of art, design, and creative exploration in Erin's life, as well as her thoughts on the larger issues of economic justice associated with generative AI. Dustin also drops by to help Amanda explain AI, how it works, and who really makes money from it.
Here are just a few of the things we will discuss in this episode about the ethics and impact of generative AI:
- How does generative AI work?
- How does this relate to working artists? What are the ethical concerns about generative AI?
- What are the potential impacts for commercial artists and designers? What are the larger economic and social effects?
- How are we seeing AI used by retail and fashion right now? How could that expand?
- If using AI saves money for companies, can we expect lower prices as customers?
- The recent controversy surrounding Selkie's use of AI for its Valentine's Day collection.
Also: how we can find hope from the Octavia Butler essay, "A Few Rules For Predicting The Future."
