AI and Creativity: from fears to opportunities

The arrival of Artificial Intelligence has sparked intense debate in the creative world. Designers, photographers, illustrators, interior designers and motion graphics experts are all asking themselves: Will AI take our jobs? What will happen to our professions? Does it still make sense to study creativity if AI can do everything?

These fears are understandable. Technology is advancing fast and is transforming the way creative industries work. But the reality is this: the best way to overcome fear is to upskill, keep learning, and learn to direct these tools instead of fearing them.

At LABASAD, our stance is clear: all our Masters include a specialisation in Artificial Intelligence applied to each discipline, so our students learn to master the technology and turn it into an ally.

🌪️ The most common fears of the creative community about AI

1. “AI is going to take my job”
AI can automate repetitive tasks, but it cannot replace your creativity, your aesthetic judgement, or your ability to connect with people.

2. “My clients won’t need me anymore”
Clients may use AI tools to generate quick ideas, but they will still need professionals to provide strategy, coherence, and creative direction.

3. “I’ll be left behind if I don’t use it”
Here’s the truth: AI won’t replace creatives — but it can replace those who don’t know how to use it.

4. “I don’t understand how to apply it to my field”
That’s why it’s essential to train in an academic environment that teaches you to apply AI in a practical and strategic way within your specific discipline.

✅ The solution: upskill and train in AI

Instead of seeing AI as an enemy, we should see it as a creative co-pilot. An ally that helps us work faster, explore new ideas, and take creativity to another level.

At LABASAD, we’ve designed our Online Masters to meet this challenge. All of them include a specialisation in Artificial Intelligence adapted to each discipline: from graphic design, illustration and branding to photography, interior design, UX/UI and motion graphics.

This way, our students don’t just learn how to use tools such as MidJourney, DALL·E, Runway or ChatGPT. They understand how to integrate them into real projects, developing a strategic vision that turns them into professionals ready to lead the transformation.

The value lies in art direction, strategic vision, and the ability to connect emotionally with people.
