Jade Tomlin: 我在Huge担任执行创意总监，主要负责谷歌的项目。我的工作重点是推动设计工艺的创新，尤其关注产品设计和如何推动创意创新。在AI时代，设计规模化意味着如何在各种平台和产品上激发团队活力，保持设计的一致性和高质量。这需要找到最佳的工作流程，并了解团队成员的工作方式和发展需求。在Huge这样顶尖的数字设计机构工作，激励员工并非难事，因为大家都很热情、有才华，渴望做出最好的作品。为了保持团队协作和士气，我们需要定期沟通，关注流程细节，保护团队成员的时间，并积极倾听他们的反馈。领导力在设计规模化中至关重要，领导者需要既能保持团队方向和责任感，又能以人为本，激发团队士气。高效协作的核心原则包括：优先倾听，保持兴趣，积极贡献。 AI可以通过提高工作效率和增强创意表达能力来提升设计规模化的能力。AI最大的机遇在于提高工作效率和增强创意表达能力；最大的挑战在于伦理问题，需要在快速发展和尊重设计人员之间取得平衡。我们整合AI的流程是迭代式的，通常从团队回顾中发现效率低下的环节开始，然后尝试用AI工具来改进。在创意探索和可衡量结果之间取得平衡的关键在于建立一种动态的、灵活的流程，并在项目关键阶段进行调整和微调。对于喜欢结构化流程的设计师来说，应该谨慎使用AI的自动化功能，在效率和自主思考之间取得平衡。想要在Huge等公司获得成功，关键在于展现出对工作的热情、精湛的技艺、以及持续学习和进取的精神。持续学习和技能提升至关重要，需要投入时间和精力。团队间的信任和积极的反馈机制也是成功的关键。在面对挑战时，保持积极的心态和韧性，并从反馈中学习和成长。 Patricia Reiners: (在访谈中主要提出问题，引导Jade Tomlin阐述观点，未形成独立的观点论述)
