AI is currently in a transitional moment: a new tool being used to make old kinds of content. But, what if AI can do more than just help us create the same old things faster and better?
In this bonus clip, Daniel Manary and Ahmad Iqbal step back from product and design to explore how AI is a new creative medium that could change how people make, share, and experience ideas.
Drawing on the work of Marshall McLuhan, the Canadian media theorist who coined "the medium is the message", Ahmad explains how each technological leap (from the radio, to the television, to the internet) first copied old forms before finding its own.
The next creative leap will come when people start using AI to invent new formats altogether.

This clip comes from Ahmad Iqbal’s interview with Daniel, where they discuss accessibility as strategy, AI adoption inside Canva, and how product design lowers the skill floor for creativity.
