In her role on Adobe Design’s Machine Intelligence & New Technology team, Brooke considers the impact and potential of generative AI on the creative industry. Her conversation with Debbie touches on copyright and artist protections in generative models, the challenges of prompting in generative AI, and how the combination of human experience and computer pattern recognition can enhance creativity.
