Is technology a friend of creativity? Or does it undermine its very essence, standardising or even upsetting that intricate process that leads to artistic elaboration? Ages-old and dug up anew with the advent of every “technological revolution”, this debate is now more heated and relevant than ever, almost a year to the day since the first release of ChatGPT. There obviously is and always will be room for fertile interaction between machine and human creativity; this has constantly happened in the past and is shown by the splendid images that Silvia Badalotti and Stefano Casati elaborated using Artificial Intelligence, published in this edition. Just as there is and always will be time and space for a creative rethinking, in the light of new technologies, of the past and the heritage of prestigious Maisons, of the design classics that are not only a continual source of inspiration for the present but also a key for imagining and building the future.
