🎙️ Introducing Thinking, With AI: A New Podcast Built With You

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new podcast from the Adobe team: Thinking, With AI. 

 

This isn’t another AI podcast filled with surface-level takes or recycled hype. 

 

Thinking, With AI is built around real perspectives from practitioners in the field. Your peers. The practitioners experimenting, struggling, scaling, questioning, and figuring it out in real time. 

We’re launching this podcast to surface the conversations that aren’t being talked about enough in the age of AI: 

  • How do you embrace AI without outsourcing your thinking?  
  • How do you protect creativity in a world where everyone can generate content in seconds?  
  • What happens to brand, craft, and originality when systems start shaping behavior?  
  • How do you navigate trust, team dynamics, and organizational change? 

And here’s what makes this different: 

We’re building it with you. Before we record each episode, we’ll invite you to shape the conversation. Your questions. Your challenges. Your perspective. Because at this moment, we don’t need more noise. We need better thinking. 

 

🎧 Episode #1: When Everyone Can Create, What Becomes Rare? 

When anyone can generate compelling content in seconds… what does originality, craft, and creative advantage look like now? 

 

🌟 Featuring Emma Gustafson, Designer at Adobe 

Emma brings the lens of a brand designer turned UX product thinker, blending artistry with product strategy to explore how AI transforms brand assets, campaign imagery, and prompting into practical creative tools. 

 

📞 We want your voice in this episode. 

 

Share a question for Emma about: 

• The future of creativity 
• What becomes valuable when AI levels the playing field 
• How AI shapes brand, craft, and storytelling 

 

💬 “Call In” to the Podcast 

You can submit your question in two ways: 

  1. Drop it in the comments below 
  2. Record a quick voice note and upload it into the thread. We may play it on the show (And yes… you might even “dial in” and ask it live!) 

Note: Make sure to include your full name, title, company, and question. These details will help us introduce you properly if your question is selected. 

 

We’ll choose 1–2 community-sourced questions to feature in the episode, either read aloud or voiced directly by you.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

  • When AI makes hyper-personalization ubiquitous, available everywhere  and expected, what will become the new architectural and experience differentiators that allow brands to stand out?
  • How do architects define the right balance between rule-based logic and AI-driven decision-making, and what types of decisions should always remain under deterministic control?

Questions:

  1. How is Adobe envisioning privacy by design for practitioners using generative AI in AEM and other Adobe products especially around first-party data, consent management and regional regulations like GDPR?
  2. How is Adobe thinking about AI governance best practises (policy guardrails, risk assessment, content authenticity) so that the practitioners can safely experiment without creating shadow AI?
  3. In day-to-day marketing and content workflows, what patterns or achitecture does Adobe recommend to keep human in the loop for high-risks / critical decisioning rather than letting fully autonomous agents make those decisions?
  4. For those rolling out AI assisstants in AEM and other Adobe products, what examples can you share where human judgement checkpoints mesuarably improved outcomes compared to a fully automated flow?

Recently, I integrated GenAI into AEM's MSM by building a custom translation tool that localizes site content across regions. So my question is - 

AI models are predominantly trained on English-language, Western-centric data. When global brands use AI to localize and generate content for markets in Southeast Asia, Africa, or Latin America, are we inadvertently homogenizing cultural expression under the guise of "personalization at scale"? What happens to the local nuance that makes a brand feel native rather than translated?

As AI agents move from helpful assistants to autonomous partners that can directly create, update, and manage customer experiences and sensitive data, what will truly differentiate the most trusted and successful organizations in this new world — the raw speed and creativity these agents deliver, the invisible upfront safeguards that prove they can never cross critical lines of security or privacy before they act, or something entirely new ?

Being a photographer/artist as well as a technology professional, I always look for the markers of a real humans in the artifacts. So my question is, as AI-generated content becomes more and more the default, how do we protect the status of human-created art as 'precious artifacts'?

Question: As AI becomes the engine for execution and optimization, should marketing leaders be investing more in systems or in strengthening brand conviction and creative taste. How do we balance the two?

Questions: 

  1. Will the future reward creators who produce more content, or those who develop stronger taste and unique perspectives?
  2. If anyone can create instantly, does craftsmanship disappear, or does it evolve into something new?

AI is making storytelling way easier for everyone, making it incredibly accessible. However, this advancement has a downside: the emergence of 'algorithmic uniformity'.
If this trend continues, a brand's distinct expertise and distinctive viewpoint will become the primary differentiators—its strategic "moat" and anything else remaining in the current AI-influenced era?

 

Thanks, Sathees

As someone working on building agentic workflows, I've noticed that the hardest part isn't generating content, it's knowing when the output is actually good. That judgment still lives entirely with humans. So my question is: as AI takes over more of the creative execution layer, do you think we're entering an era where taste and editorial judgment become the most scarce and valuable skills, and how should organizations be intentionally developing those capabilities in their teams?
