360. Human Creativity and AI with Craig Detweiler

33m | May 6, 2024

As a professor, Dr. Craig Detweiler saw that his arts and media students were becoming anxious about AI replacing them in the job market. That’s why he decided to write a book about what he hopes will be the future of human creativity and AI.

Dr. Detweiler’s book, “Honest Creativity: The Foundation of Boundless, Good, and Inspired Innovation,” lays out the case that AI will help humans in their creative efforts, not replace them. Humans are good at analogies, embodiment, and empathy, while generative AI is good at lowering the traditional barriers to creative undertakings like legal work, studio tools, and more.

He lays out the three step process that students, and all of us, should take in order to succeed, hand-in-hand with AI. He draws on his experience as president and CEO of Wedgewood Circle, a philanthropic investment collective that funds creative projects of meaning.

It’s not everyday that you get to hear directly from Variety’s Mentor of the Year, so be sure to tune in and give a listen.
