Artificial intelligence is no longer a new concept, but its level of sophistication, power and applications have grown
immensely in the last year thanks to wider access to new tools.


The creative industry has seen one of the biggest increases in new AI tools and perceptions of the technology vary from
threatening to welcoming. From the global phenomenon of ChatGPT to the extraordinary visuals of Midjourney, AI tools are
becoming more widely used. Creatives are discovering new ways of utilising or manipulating these AI tools to enhance
workflow, simplify tasks or spark creativity.


At Engine Creative we love to be ahead of the curve and strive to learn what others think about emerging technologies. We
work with a lot of forward-thinking clients who recognise the potential of AI and how it can help to grow their business, so
