In this CreativePro Conversation, David Blatner sits down for a chat with Cindy Alvarez, Director of UX at Microsoft. There is a lot of gloom and doom surrounding the rise of Artificial Intelligence—or AI—in the creative sphere lately, but Microsoft is embracing that technology to enhance the work that we do when using their tools. Cindy and David discuss how AI can help provide better experiences through user customization and idea generation.
At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more through innovation, diversity and inclusion, corporate social responsibility, AI, and trustworthy computing.
CreativePro Conversations is a new video series which brings together creative professionals from a variety of fields to talk about design, communication, efficiency, learning, and how to get the work done.
Some of these conversations come from interviews presented at our online and live events and some are informal discussions among peers. But every CreativePro Conversation focuses on one thing: how to help organizations and individuals thrive, by design.
