Quotes:

• "AI designers have some serious advantages… They can process and analyze massive amounts of data… AI algorithms can be trained to recognize patterns and identify trends." 
• "AI can't replicate the full range of human emotions… It can't fully grasp the cultural, social, and historical context of design."
• "AI consumers can scan a package with their smartphone and see 3D product demonstrations, virtual try-on experiences, or get additional product information."
• "The fear of automation taking away jobs is a valid concern… But in the long run, it could actually create new opportunities for employment and innovation."
• "Don't stress about the robots… Keep creating, keep innovating, and keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible."
