## Resource

Nik and Dan talk about new AI image editing tools from Canva and Adobe and the value of baking AI right into existing tools. The conversation switches to a provocative new essay by George Sivulka on the importance of Institutional AI and not just Individual AI, which can be chaotic if it's not coordinated. https://x.com/gsivulka/status/2031797989908627849 Lastly, Dan interviews Louise Macfadyn, author of the upcoming book Designing AI Interfaces. https://amzn.to/4lAf9qi
