AI can generate a working prototype, a striking image, or a polished video. How do we decide whether the result serves its audience, communicates the right idea, or solves the right problem?
Join this Day 1 Show & Tell at the FIG AI Design Makeathon 2026 for a look at how creatives use AI in their workflows and shape its output into meaningful work. Hear practical perspectives from designers in large company and design agency, and bring fresh questions to your own creative process.
