In this installment of Designing with AI, our panel will discuss the opportunities & issues emerging from a new breed (http://lobe.ai, https://runwayml.com/) of tools that aim to enhance creativity through the power of Machine Learning. But how does it all work?

Some of the questions well aim to cover:

- What is Computational Creativity?
- What kinds of tools are emerging that use Machine Learning?
- How do these tools work?
- How do these tools change the creative process?
- How do these tools change the roles of the designer?
- How can designers begin to use these tools?
- Are there any benefits/downsides of using these types of tools?
