Description
The Automated Designer
Exploring the Levels of Automation within the Creative Process
In 2017, before generative AI became part of everyday life, creative director Bart J. Daems explored a question that now feels more relevant than ever: What happens when parts of the creative process become automated? The result was The Automated Designer, an MBA thesis examining the growing relationship between human creativity and intelligent systems. Nearly a decade later, many of the ideas explored in these pages have moved from theory to reality. This edition revisits the original research as both a historical snapshot and a foundation for new inquiry into the future of creative work. Because while the tools have changed dramatically, the question remains the same: what is the role of the designer when machines can create?
