2:00 PM CREATIVE CAMPAIGN CASE STUDY: AI For Good: Using Generative AI to Paint a Vision of the Future of Nature

UK nature is in crisis. We are in the top 10% of the most nature depleted countries in the world: a quarter of all our mammals are at risk of extinction; over the last 50 years we’ve lost 38 million birds from our skies; 97% of our wildflower meadows have disappeared since the 1930s; and 92% of the UK’s seagrass

meadows, which can absorb carbon more efficiently than tropical rainforests, have been lost in the last century. If harmful activities are left unchecked, the situation will only deteriorate further.


This session will explore how WWF Head of Strategic Communications and Brand, Holly McKinlay, used generative AI to create a their “Future Of Nature” campaign, depicting a vision of the future of nature, both positive and negative.
