To AI or not to AI, that is the question

Guest Editorial •  Spring 2023

To AI or not to AI, that is the question businesses are increasingly asking themselves as they explore the potential of artificial intelligence in their operations.

AI has the potential to benefit businesses in many ways, particularly in marketing and the creative process. It can analyse data, generate personalised experiences for customers, and assist in content creation, among other things. As a result, businesses are increasingly turning to AI to gain a competitive edge.

Generative AI tools such as Chat GPT, Midjourney and Adobe Firefly to name a few, can provide numerous benefits to businesses, including content creation such as text, images, videos, audio, and code. This saves time and resources that would otherwise be spent creating these manually, helping businesses break free from traditional marketing methods.

Publication viewers can scan the QR code opposite to bring William Shakespeare back to life digitally, let us imagine what his perspective might have been on using AI in his creative process, we could speculate that he would have pondered the question: “To use or not to use AI?” He might have reflected on whether it’s better to endure the challenges of original creativity or to embrace the assistance of AI to overcome the hurdles of producing content. The image, script and video were all created by Helen using AI and AR technology.

In conclusion, while AI has the potential to transform marketing and the creative processes, businesses must remember that it is not a replacement for human creativity. They must strike a balance between utilising the power of AI and maintaining the human touch in their marketing and creative process. Additionally, businesses must be aware of the limitations and safe use of these tools.
