"We've just seen too much awful stuff, and it's impossible to ironize. The only sane response to that is to kind of sober up and say, 'All right, what resources do humans still have?'"

When performers fall out of sync, even the best improv starts to break down. Innovation is a team sport, and skill alone won't yield favourable results.

Trust begins with realness. When lawyers share their story and the reason behind their work, clients see themselves reflected in that narrative. Clients are not simply hiring legal skill; they are looking for alignment, empathy, and shared values. Storytelling bridges that gap.

GenAI offers visions of a hopeful future, as it is a powerful tool that enables us to more clearly articulate our thoughts to others. However, the necessity of putting thoughts down on paper remains a crucial skill that risks disappearing altogether.

Mistakes are almighty: you can't ever guarantee that the next moment will host no manifestation of a mistake. According to evolution theory, the diversity of life on Earth entirely emerges from copying mistakes of DNA polymerase.

"We're talking about political leaders who were moved by an enormous sense of responsibility and fear for the world."

Toonstar's proven ability to translate beloved stories into engaging animation, while keeping artists at the center of the process, makes them the ideal partner to bring Friendship List and other popular titles to new audiences in formats today's families love.

An editor expressed concern, stating that the Shy Girl incident could happen to any publisher, highlighting the industry's need for vigilance regarding the authenticity of submissions.

On 13 January 2026, Bandcamp published "Keeping Bandcamp Human", declaring that "music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp", alongside a strict prohibition on AI-enabled impersonation of other artists or styles. The post invites users to report releases that appear to rely heavily on generative tools, and it explicitly reserves the right to remove music "on suspicion of being AI-generated".

Hachette remains committed to protecting original creative expression and storytelling. The company requires all submissions to be original to the authors and that the authors disclose whether AI is used during the writing process.

A few years ago, I put together what I felt was a truly innovative concept, which I presented in a conference poster at an international meeting in my field. After the presentation, I spoke to another early-career scientist about my work and how it might apply to their findings. Two years later, they scooped me by publishing a preprint paper that presented my idea, with many of the same verbal formulations and an identical flow of ideas, without any acknowledgement or attribution to my work.

A recent UX audit for a new client forced me to rethink how AI-generated designs fit into the way we explain and justify design decisions. A comprehensive UX audit of all the app was the first thing I needed to do - to identify friction and suggest improvements. After reviewing the app and particular features, I had a list of flaws and possible improvements.

Author Malorie Blackman said the scheme seeks to highlight the imagination, commitment, craft and care taken to produce stories and books which can be enjoyed by everyone. She added: Any creative endeavour requires time, effort, a willingness to learn from mistakes and failure, and a determination to persevere lifelong, essential skills which cannot be learned and honed by allowing AI to do all of our creative thinking and production for us.

The Portrait of Edmond de Belamy seems to be a paradigmatic example of generative AI art. Generative AI art has to be distinguished from AI-assisted art. The latter involves AI just as a tool that supports human art creation, comparable to a brush or a typewriter. In generative AI art, in contrast, the artistic achievement supposedly lies solely with the AI, while humans play no or only a minimal role in the creative process.

As AI systems become more capable, more accessible, and more embedded in everyday workflows, creativity is emerging as one of the most important human skills in AI development and deployment. Not creativity as decoration or aesthetics, but creativity as problem framing, decision-making, and human judgment. In an era where many organizations are using the same models, tools, and platforms, creative thinking is what separates meaningful outcomes from generic ones.
