AI canvas: artists swap brushes for bots

Artificial intelligence has upended the world of digital art and design but not in the way you might think. It’s spurred greater demand for graphic designers, illustrators, editors, prompt engineers and machine engineers. New roles have been created to fill gaps that are opening up—AI art curator, digital human designer, synthetic media specialist, generative music composer. Traditional design capabilities aren’t enough. Those who can balance artistic vision with AI fluency will be best positioned for success in this evolving landscape, experts said.
