There’s no doubt, AI will be able to automate product, marketing, and sales workflows. But GenAI’s greatest achievement could be expanding our creative potential.

In this episode you’ll learn about:

➤ How AI’s ability to understand context and intent will change everything

➤ That communicating via visuals instead of words will innovate decision-making

➤ The differences in working in a design-led culture vs. production line orgs

➤ Preparing for a world of AI as a creative partner & provocateur

➤ What creative AI products can do today and in the near future

Our guest, Tuhin Kumar, has worked on the bleeding edge of user experience design his entire career, creating some of the most memorable interactions on Facebook, Airbnb, and Apple’s platforms.

In this conversation we explore why he decided to lead design at Luma, a GenAI platform challenging our perspectives on the creative potential of video and images. As we enter an era where anyone can create average assets, we must find new ways of pushing the boundaries of creativity. Pioneers, like Tuhin, are building a future that equips product teams and creatives across all industries with new capabilities to innovate how we design.
