TALK // AUGMENTING CREATIVITY // DTUG + D5

Co-hosted with DTUG and D5, this evening looks at the changing role of the designer in the age of AI. A series of speakers will be invited to share their thoughts on the importance of maintaining a creative skillset in order to survive the onslaught of AI and continue to delivery truly creative works, aided but not lead by AI. They will be asked where AI and other automations can be used to genuinely aid the creative mind, and what creative skills remain critical going forward.

Hear from the following thought leaders:

Alberto Roa, Pascall + Watson

Ami Nigam, Benoy

Ana Matic, Scott Brownrigg

Diana Fox, AHMM

Zach Bai Lu, Co-Founder at D5

The London Design Technology User Group (DTUG) was founded in 2023 to reignite in-person knowledge-sharing and to promote the sharing of first-hand experiences with industry peers in a relaxed and social setting. We host several events a year, each one themed around a key AEC topic; i.e. visualisation, sustainability, AI or collaborative interoperability.
