AI changes not just the 'how' but also the 'who' of work-and that's reshaping fields
Briefly

Meet Carol, the photo-editing wizard of her retirement community, known by other residents as "Magic Carol." Her neighbors are in awe of her ability to add color to old black-and-white photos, remove busy backgrounds, fix wardrobe mishaps, and even humorously place the face of the newsletter editor she works with on Arnold Schwarzenegger's body. The secret behind her magic is artificial intelligence.
Carol's story is part of a bigger trend: the democratization of technology. What once required highly skilled professionals is now accessible to hobbyists, small-business owners, and everyday individuals. This AI-driven shift is changing not just how we edit photos, but who has the power to do so, and it's reshaping many fields in ways we're only starting to understand.
With a human-centric approach, AI doesn't just make photo editing easier; it opens the doors for people who have never before considered themselves capable of producing professional visuals. Carol is just one of thousands of people who have adopted AI.
We wanted to put the power of great images into more people's hands, not just those with technical skills or expensive software. What we didn't fully anticipate was just how much AI would shift not only the "how" of photo editing but the "who."
