When AI Is Designing Us Back

The "rationality-based, user-centered approach" has been the gold standard in business, product development, and marketing for decades. But it's hitting its limits — and AI is accelerating that reckoning.

In this closing keynote from Canvas 26 Tokyo, Yuichi Inobori, Ph.D. reframes the role of the objects and tools we create in sparking human and organisational creativity, through the lens of Ontological Design. As AI — itself an artifact — weaves itself into the fabric of everyday life, what does creativity truly mean for us now? And how should we design the organisations of the future?

A provocation and an invitation in equal measure.
