These days, AI isn’t just a plot point, it’s an intensely practical tool that is transforming entire industries. Among those upended is the creative sector, with tools such as Midjourney, DALL·E 2 and Movio revolutionizing the way digital content is produced. These tools rely on natural language processing (NLP) and natural language generation (NLG) technologies to automatically create new content based on user input. A simple prompt can produce an entire article, a new logo design or a compelling product video with minimal effort from users. AI tools stand to change how a range of industries – from advertising and media, to building and architecture design, to automotive and engineering – generate both internal and consumer-facing content.
