Generative AI was the biggest topic in terms of technological innovation in 2023, and it will perhaps remain a major subject in 2024 as well.

Perhaps due to its impact, discussions tended to focus either on its “omnipotence” or “threat.”

Nevertheless, as users of the tool have actually increased and it has been applied in various fields including politics, economy, and culture, such barren and simple debates are diminishing.

The line between “what AI is good at” and “what AI isn’t so good at” is gradually becoming clearer.

For this featured topic, we explored realistic possibilities in AI from the perspectives of design and creativity.

In other words, we explored “how to handle AI in a friendly and casual way.”

As the experts appearing here all have a thorough command of AI, they are fully versed in its latest capacity and limits.

As to the people and organizations we interviewed, we chose enterprises and designers that make use of AI while keeping their feet on the ground and avoiding impractical plans.

In addition, generative AI is also used in the design for this issue of AXIS Magazine.

While rejecting excessive optimism or pessimism, we hope you enjoy this feature put together with a modest hope for a future generated by design and AI.
