How AI is changing the way we think

06 January 2025

AI is reshaping the way we solve problems and approach creativity. It helps us find new perspectives and get more done faster.

It may even be changing how our brains work. At i3MEDIA, we’ve seen first-hand how AI fits into our workflows and what it’s capable of, going beyond helping. It’s a game-changer for creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Our Brains Love Sharing the Load

Your brain is brilliant but also resourceful. When things get tough, it needs to share the load to help solve problems. This is called cognitive offloading, and usually makes us turn to other people, when they’re not available, we use tools to make thinking and doing easier. For instance, when we’re jotting down a to-do list or using a satnav to get to a new place, these are cognitive offloading techniques.

These things clear mental space, allowing you to focus on more important things. AI is giving us new ways to handle tasks and tackle challenges, and is notable for the flexibility, responsiveness and learning potential that it can demonstrate when used correctly.

At i3MEDIA, AI is seen as part of the team. It works with us to keep things running smoothly while opening our minds to new ideas.

AI: Your Thinking Partner

AI isn’t here to take over—it’s here to help. It’s more of a teammate that handles repetitive tasks, giving you more time to focus on the bigger picture.

Here’s how AI is rewiring the way we think:

It Lightens the Load

The brain hates being overloaded—it gets tired and makes poor decisions. AI tools, like campaign analysers or content generators, sort through data, highlight what matters, and give you the insights you need.

It Expands What’s Possible

AI pushes boundaries. Whether it’s using design tools like DALL·E to brainstorm visuals or predictive analytics to test ideas, AI helps us think beyond what we’d normally consider.

It Changes How We Solve Problems

Our brains are used to thinking step by step, but AI can process lots of information at once. It spots patterns and generates options we might not see, encouraging a fresh way of problem-solving.

How AI Fits into Agency Life

At i3MEDIA, AI helps us to work smarter. Explore some examples of how we’re using it:

  • Campaign Optimisation: AI crunches numbers and flags trends, so our team can focus on strategy.
  • Content Creation: AI tools generate first drafts, provide quick overviews of subjects and can be trained to maintain specific tones and voices, making it easier to start tasks, deal with specifics and focus on creativity.
  • Creative Brainstorming: AI tools suggest initial ideas we then build on, helping us to think outside the box.

The best part? AI doesn’t replace the human touch. It merely amplifies it.

Why this matters

The way AI works mirrors how our brains naturally handle tasks. It takes on the effort and frees our minds, allowing us to focus on creative thinking and decision-making. Basically, it’s like an extra brain that handles the repetitive or time-consuming stuff, giving you more time to focus on what matters most!

Humans working together with AI reshapes what’s possible in digital agencies and beyond. Together, we can do more, think bigger, and create better.

AI is already changing how we work and think, and it’s only the beginning.
