AI Research, Insights and Thought Leadership
Adobe works with creative professionals every day. We publish what we're learning about how AI is reshaping creative work and the people who do it.
Why we’re doing this
The conversation about AI and creativity should be led by the people who do creative work. This program is Adobe’s effort to amplify the voices of creative professionals, content creators, and new entrants to the field. We publish what they're telling us about what's changing, what's at stake, and what our researchers and engineers are doing about it.
What we commit to
Our reports feature original data, clear arguments, and frameworks people can apply to their work. Some of our research is newly commissioned. Some is existing Adobe research, curated for a wider audience. We share our sources, name our collaborators, and welcome critique.
