As I was working on a graphic recording chart at a recent event, I heard someone say, “It’s so great to see someone actually creating something with their hands!”
That would have sounded odd not long ago. But AI has become such a part of everything we do that creating something without it is now worth commenting on.
While the explosive growth of AI has had many advantages, it’s also been disorienting. It seems the more technology becomes embedded in our everyday lives, the hungrier we are for experiences that aren’t digital.
Along with its other benefits, graphic recording helps people “touch the grass”, that is, reconnect to real, unmediated human creativity.
Seeing a visual note-taker capture what’s happening using nothing but their own minds and hands reassures people inundated by AI-generated content that their own thoughts and feelings still matter.
That’s important because no matter how much AI can contribute to decision-making, the actual decisions are still made by human beings.
It’s the mission of visual note-takers to empower participants by putting human creativity at the center of conferences, seminars, and meetings. Get in touch and let’s discuss the possibilities!
