Creativity is the New Productivity: Leveraging Adobe’s Generative AI Powerfully and Responsibly

Adobe Pedagogical Evangelists Dr. Shauna Chung and Dr. Todd Taylor will be on campus Wednesday, October 2 to lead four workshops for novice and advanced users to explore the latest Generative AI workflows.  Choose the right session for you from the four workshops listed at the end.

Each of these workshops will demonstrate Adobe’s differentiated approach to responsible, ethical Generative AI.  Adobe is committed to the idea that “Creativity is the new Productivity,” and this means that our products and the workflows they enable leverage Generative AI to imagine, explore, and push boundaries like never before, making space and time for what’s most meaningful: amplifying creativity and intelligence without replacing the beauty and power of the human imagination. Please join us as we explore Generative AI’s impact on education, creativity, and visual storytelling, including:

• developing student digital fluency and essential workforce skills
• designing low-lift, high-impact student learning to drive engagement
• preparing students as critical users of emerging technologies by examining Adobe's ethical, technical, security, and privacy GenAI features

The workshops below show practical ways to access this potential across Adobe Creative Cloud and Acrobat Pro, with a focus on Adobe Express and Firefly.
