When I was hosting the DIBI conference in Edinburgh back in May, I moderated an impromptu panel on AI:
On the whole, it stayed quite grounded and mercifully free of hyperbole. Both speakers were treating the current crop of technologies as tools. Everyone agreed we were on the hype cycle, probably the peak of inflated expectations, looking forward to reaching the plateau of productivity.
Something else that happened at that event was that I met Deborah Dawton from the Design Business Association. She must’ve liked the cut of my jib because she invited me to come and speak at their get-together in Brighton on the topic of “AI, Web3 and design.”
The representative from the DBA who contacted me knew what they were letting themselves in for. They wrote:
I’ve read a few of your posts on the subject and it would be great if you could join us to share your perspectives.
How could I say no?
I’ve published a transcript of the short talk I gave.
