Amanda Stadler
Client Lead
Lisbeth Torp Christensen
Head of Digital Products

3. 1508
We design digital experiences,
loveable brands and sustainable
businesses

4. AI and Design?

8. Job loss Dependency Upskilling

9. We learn how to navigate

10. Company culture is key

11. Question:
How do you envision AI shaping your work and the field of design in the long run?
I think AI could lead to entirely new
ways of designing that we can't even
conceptualize yet
9
I foresee AI tools maturing to a point
where they handle mundane tasks,
letting me focus entirely on creative
problem-solving
8
I believe that AI will fundamentally
reshape the design field, introducing
new roles and making some current
roles obsolete
4
I don't think AI will have more than a
marginal impact on my work or the
broader field of design even in the long
term

20. Generative AI exploration is accelerating, thanks to the
popularity of stable diffusion, midjourney, ChatGPT and
large language models. End-user organizations in most
industries aggressively experiment with generative AI.

22. AI Guidelines
Transparency
We are open with our clients
about what tools we use and
when we use it in the process.
Privacy
We respect the privacy of both
our colleagues and clients. We
do not paste or type in any
names of individuals or
company names while using any
AI tools.
AI with clients

23. AI Guidelines
Human decision-making
We are aware that we have the
ability to override any type of
decision that AI tools have
made.
Exploring together
We have an open mindset
around the topic and are willing
to try to implement it in our
processes to better understand
where in the process it make
sense.
AI with colleagues

24. AI Guidelines
Mastery of Prompting
We make sure to stay
knowledgeable and learn the art
of prompting to receive relevant
and accurate responses
Content Quality & Safety
We think twice when we create
prompts to reduce the risk of
getting harmful, biased, or
undesirable content generated.
Prompt Engineering

25. Risks & Challenges
Loss of uniqueness
Generic input will most likely render generic
output, why we need to understand how to
prompt.
Ethics & Biases
Models are a product of the data they were
trained on, in many cases biased.
Hallucination
Models do not have a good or true sense of
reality and may create incorrect information.
Dependent on third-party providers
Becoming dependent on third-party providers
makes us vulnerable to sudden price changes
etc.

Daily:
AI is an integral part of my workflow 8
Occasionally:
I've experimented but don't use AI
consistently
