The Impact of Generative AI

Purposeful creation involves intention, skill, and, often enough, serendipity. With an insightful prompt, GenAI software like Photoshop, Dalle 3, or Midjourney might render your vision—or it might not. Inspired by Pasteur's comment that “chance favors the prepared mind,” we provide you with knowledge and skills for purposeful creation and successful use of GenAI.
