Savannah College of Art and Design releases AI Insights Report, considering the use of AI in creative work
The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has presented its 2025 SCAD AI Insights Report, highlighting the latest use cases of AI in student projects.
SCAD also recently invited leadership, faculty, and students to the 2025 SCADask AI Summit, which aimed to reassess AI’s role in design education. The event welcomed experts from companies including Google, Meta, Adobe, and Deloitte.
SCADask also surveyed creative business leaders about AI’s impact on their industries and found that the technology is capable of delivering benefits without challenging jobs. Two-thirds of leaders surveyed reported a decrease in operational costs and nearly a quarter said they had expanded their teams with AI-focused roles.
"The creative process is not about having a broad palette of tech or software skills," explains Dan Bartlett, Dean at the School of Animation and Motion at SCAD.
"It's about having a flexible one where the focus is on the vision or an idea along with the ability to create an outcome rather than the specific things needed to make it happen."
RTIH AI in Retail Awards
Our sister title, RTIH, organiser of the industry leading RTIH Innovation Awards, proudly brings you the first edition of the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, which is now open for entries.
As we witness a digital transformation revolution across all channels, AI tools are reshaping the omnichannel game, from personalising customer experiences to optimising inventory, uncovering insights into consumer behaviour, and enhancing the human element of retailers' businesses.
With 2025 set to be the year when AI and especially gen AI shake off the ‘heavily hyped’ tag and become embedded in retail business processes, our newly launched awards celebrate global technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world and the resulting benefits for retailers, shoppers and employees.
Our 2025 winners will be those companies who not only recognise the potential of AI, but also make it usable in everyday work - resulting in more efficiency and innovation in all areas.
Winners will be announced at an evening event at The Barbican in Central London on Wednesday, 3rd September.
