Hi, I am undecided about what career to pursue. What careers will be most impacted by AI? I want to avoid those. Do you think design as a career will be affected if creativity is key? Can AI be as creative as humans?
That’s a thoughtful question, and one a lot of students are asking right now. AI is definitely reshaping industries like data entry, customer support, and even parts of content creation. But when it comes to design, creativity still gives humans the edge.
AI can help with basic ideation or execution, but it can’t replicate emotional insight, cultural context, or original thinking. So if you enjoy solving problems creatively and are open to learning new tools, design remains a strong, future-ready career path.
The key is to adapt and use AI as an assistant; not fear it as a replacement.
