How to stay relevant when your company pushes AI over creativity

Kat Wong, founder of career change platform Oh Yeah, advises a creative professional whose company is aggressively promoting AI, making them feel their role is diminished. Wong argues the core issue is not AI itself but poor leadership communication and a lack of safe culture for adoption. She suggests framing AI as a tool to eliminate inefficiencies, not replace creativity, and proposes forming a core working group of early adopters to help managers understand AI's impact and shift internal messaging. Wong cites Rob Alderson's blog Undo as a resource highlighting how major organizations are now championing human creativity. She emphasizes that people will always need to trust the human behind decision-making and that the love of craft and storytelling endures.
