What You Need To Know This Week: Daily AI use is up, Digital art gets real

Hi friends,

I’ve never been more grateful for running as an outlet.

I cannot control the chaos, grief and heartbreak in the world - but I can control how I move my body and how I talk to myself when I am doing hard things. When the world is disappointing, all the more reason to show up for yourself and make yourself proud.

Speaking of showing up, it’s that special time of the week to update you on some of the latest trends in art and innovation.

Check them out below:

• AI Tools Gain Traction - A recent study revealed that Mac users, in particular, are increasingly embracing AI-based applications compared to their Windows-based counterparts, with 42% using AI apps daily. According to the article, AI tools are transforming traditional apps by providing additional user assistance (a trend we reported on last week). So, let this be a moment of inspiration for you to start engaging today!
• Digital Art Goes Physical - Physical prints have become a big new trend in art NFTs. Is this a move away from the core use case of NFTs as a digital collectible? In my opinion, we will continue to see a merge of the digital and physical in the future, and this is one example of many. What I’m excited about is how artists will continue to experiment with the blending of hybrid forms of art, diversifying their options for monetizing their craft, while inspiring us all to reimagine our worlds!

With love and peace,

Randi
