A fantastic workshop today with the amazingly talented German designer Ulrike Kerber whose new book on #AI Tools for Designers I highly recommend. If you're curious about experimenting with Gen AI Avatars and Video tools, skip the clickbait social media tutorials and sign up for one of her workshops. It is well worth it. Thanks Ulrike for an amazing afternoon.

Ulrike accomplishes this journey by weaving the manner of tools used, with suggestions for use, to obtain the best design results with AI interactions. Highly recommended!

Preface 

What inspired this book? After two decades as a brand and motion designer relying on digital tools, my creative world shifted with the release of Large Language Models in November 2022. This breakthrough sparked my journey into AI, exploring how it could elevate our intelligence and creativity. I began asking: how can AI reshape creativity and learning? How might emerging technologies like AR and VR enhance our understanding?

AI will deeply intertwine with our lives, influencing economics, ethics, and social dynamics. This book envisions a positive future, featuring AI-generated avatars—muses and hybrids born from digital realms. Though aware of technology’s ethical questions, I focus here on its potential for good, believing that imagination drives reality. Through words, design, and music, I explore the possibilities of AI and look forward to an unknown future with gratitude and curiosity.
