Monique Deletant, CEO and Creative Director of artsdepot, outlines strategies for leaders to support creative professionals in the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Highlighting valid fears within the creative sector regarding data mining and copyright exploitation, Deletant criticizes the UK government’s proposed ‘opt-out’ policies for potentially undermining artists' rights. She emphasizes the importance of placing artists at the center of AI policy development, noting that while many reject AI as a creative tool, it can offer benefits like accessibility support if used responsibly. Deletant shares artsdepot’s approach, including trialing Microsoft Copilot with strict data privacy safeguards. She advises CEOs to recognize the intrinsic value of creative teams, invest in upskilling staff and freelancers, and maintain transparent communication about AI's impact. By listening to creatives during policy formulation and fostering a collaborative environment, organizations can navigate technological changes while protecting intellectual property and ensuring that AI serves as a supportive tool rather than a replacement for human artistry.
