• Designing New Realities: Artists, AI, and the Future of Human Purpose

  As AI evolves from a passive tool to an active collaborator, artists and designers face a profound new responsibility—not simply supervising, but actively shaping AI's values and role in human society. In this candid conversation, Angella Tapé (SVP, Global Group Strategy Director, Havas), Dominik Heinrich (Global Head of Design Intelligence, Coca-Cola), and Jason Severs (Head of Design, frog) challenge dystopian narratives and propose a radically human-centric vision of collaboration with AI.
