AI and creativity | The Future of Brands
Let’s make AI less binary
A balanced look at creativity and AI
AI is changing how media is made, shared, and experienced. Some people see it as a powerful creative tool. Others worry it’s replacing the human touch that makes great ideas stand out.
At this year’s Future of Brands conference, Yemi Olagbaiye, Director at Softwire, will take a closer look at what AI is really doing in the creative space, challenging the extremes dominating the AI conversation.
In this 15-minute keynote, “Let’s Make AI Less Binary,” Yemi will share examples from the media industry to show where AI adds value and where it still falls short. He’ll introduce a practical framework to help teams find the right balance – using AI where it helps, and keeping human creativity at the centre where it matters most.
What the session will cover:
- How AI is being used in media today – with real examples
- Where AI helps creative work, and where it gets in the way
- A practical way to work with AI without losing the human element
Session details:
- Date: 29 April 2025
- Time: 14:15 – 14:30
- Location: The Future of Brands – Data, tech & effectiveness
