AI will continue to profoundly change our professional and personal lives. But what does this mean for designers? Hypotheses range from “designers are no longer needed” to “designers are decisive in shaping desirable futures in democratic societies.”
In this interactive workshop with experts from design, education, and technology, we explore what AI-shaped futures might look like – and how we can actively seize our creative agency. Alongside impulse talks and panel discussions, participants will collaboratively develop a “Skill Canvas” for the future of design and “Future Scenarios” for desirable futures.
Afterwards: Visit the finissage of the exhibition “Unlocal”, Oberer Graben 3, St.Gallen.
