While AI might be our industry’s new “It Girl,” the creative concept is still queen. As great as AI is, we can’t yet push a button to come up with a campaign at the level of this year’s Cannes winners. Maybe that will happen someday, but for now, I hope we can protect and preserve the oft-inefficient, delightfully unpredictable process of creative development. Because what lies on the other side promises to be worth the wait.
