GenAI Collaborative Creation Exercises: Examples and Applications

“GenAI Collaborative Creation Exercises: Examples and Applications” will discuss the integration of artificial intelligence tools in design and creativity. This session is tailored for educators looking to enhance their teaching methodologies with currently available GenAI tools and create exercises for students that challenge them to use said tools with a critical thinking mindset. During the workshop, you won't just be listening-you'll be doing. We'll explore case studies, engage in hands-on exercises, and create images and simple data visualizations. This interactive approach will give you a firsthand experience of the ease and speed of AI-driven creation. Additionally, we'll discuss the importance of balancing digital and analog techniques. By encouraging initial analog explorations, we can combat digital fatigue and refine these ideas using AI, effectively blending traditional and modern methods. This approach underscores generative AI as an asset in the creative toolkit, not a replacement but a complement that enhances the creative process.
