How generative AI is creatively revolutionizing the world
In our line of work, we ask ourselves every day where the journey of creative work is heading. Which technologies will accompany us in the future? Which tasks will be replaced by machines, and where will humans become more important than ever before? How do we measure real creativity in a world that is increasingly determined by algorithms and AI? And where is it necessary to transparently identify the use of AI?
The power of AI in creative processes
Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT can enrich creative processes by generating unusual ideas and concepts that we as agency employees would never have considered. For example, ChatGPT can suggest new business models or creative approaches by linking seemingly unrelated terms.
AI can take over repetitive tasks, leaving creatives more time for the actual creative work. This is how we understand the benefits of AI in our agency network. Models can generate content ideas, optimize texts and analyze extensive data, which increases efficiency and creates space for more creative projects and processes. Graphic designers can use AI-based image generators to create initial drafts and speed up the creative process. For tenders, we use this technology to visualize initial ideas or to create quick, high-quality mood boards.
The use of AI tools broadens access to creative resources. People without professional creative training can use AI to create appealing content and thus realize their ideas. This leads to a democratization of creativity, where more people are able to realize their visions without having to rely on expensive or hard-to-access resources (Tojin T. Eapen, Daniel J. Finkenstadt, Josh Folk & Lokesh Venkataswamy, 2023). For us as a network, this means that many employees can now be integrated into creative processes and visualize their ideas more easily.
Psychological aspects of creativity
Creativity and innovation are not just technical processes, but are also strongly influenced by psychological factors. Professors Cyril Bouquet, Jean-Louis Barsoux and Michael Wade from the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) have developed eight strategies for overcoming mental challenges in the innovation process. These include, for example, talking to the future self. We also use this method in strategic or conceptual work, among other things.
Innovation through collaboration
Innovation can be developed not only by creative minds in the company and new technologies, but also by all agencies and departments integrated in the network. Collaboration between different units promotes the exchange of ideas and the joint development of new approaches, which leads to more innovative solutions (Kasra Ferdows, Hau L. Lee & Xiande Zhao, 2022).
Challenges and opportunities of AI integration
Agile methods play a decisive role in the successful introduction of AI technologies. These methods enable companies to react quickly to changes and continuously learn from experiments. By gradually implementing AI systems and continuously testing and adapting, companies can ensure that the new technologies are used effectively and consequently provide added value (Andrew McAfee, Daniel Rock & Erik Brynjolfsson, 2024).
As creatives, we are constantly learning about new technologies and trends. We exchange ideas internally and form project groups to pursue a topic, test tools and create prototypes. Not all projects, tests and experiments are crowned with success. Strictly speaking, there are only a few ideas that find a permanent place in everyday agency life. Nevertheless, it is important to use new technologies to drive business models forward.
Conclusion - The future of creativity with AI
Generative artificial intelligence has the potential to profoundly change our creative and innovative processes. Not only can it increase efficiency and take over repetitive tasks, but it can also serve as a source of inspiration that leads us to new, unconventional ideas. At Thryve Group AG, we stay ahead of the curve by continuously researching and testing new technologies to fully exploit our creative potential. We see the combination of human creativity and AI as the key to breakthrough innovations that can revolutionize the way we work and live. It is important to find a balanced approach that utilizes the strengths of AI while compensating for its weaknesses. Agile methods and careful planning are crucial to making the introduction of AI technologies successful and ensuring that they offer real added value.
