Chart: Trends Affecting Creative Professionals

Artificial intelligence (AI) is more than just a job-eliminating technology. It also has the potential to change how people approach creative work.

In July, Wrike and EdgePeak Consulting surveyed 1,552 “creative professionals” who work in various fields including design, art, film, video production and advertising. The researchers found that 85% of respondents believed that AI will have a significant impact on their creative output in the next two years. No other emerging technology was expected to have an impact this big.
