🤖🎨 Fascinating meeting with the @DCMS, expertly facilitated by @designcouncil & @catdrew_ ! We delved deep into the world of #AI and its evolving impact on design & creative sectors.
At @weareskribbl, we've always championed the harmony of human creativity & responsible use of AI. Today's conversation reaffirmed our belief that while AI can be a powerful tool, it should NEVER be used to replace the role of human artists. 🙌✍️
🚫 For brands that agree that it's crucial we use AI responsibly, learn more about our stance and show your support by signing the #OnlyHumanArtDeclaration at onlyhumanart.com/ #OnlyHumanArt #SkribblForCreativity #AIinDesign #KeepArtHuman ❤️👩🎨🤖

Why is the destiny of local best practice always to be ‘scaled up’? Why does everything have to be nationalised?
What if we just respected the inherentness of local innovation and were happy with pluralism?

Labour's mission should be to create a UK economy that's regenerative & distributive by design - one that meets the needs of all within the means of the living planet. Aiming for 'growth' simply won't deliver on that. @UKLabour rise to the moment & offer us a vision worth backing
