In 2024, the world’s HUMALOGY® balance, a term coined by FPOV to measure the balance between digital and human effort, has significantly advanced creative areas such as art and home modeling. Contrary to common apprehension, AI often enhances, rather than replaces, human creativity. When used properly, AI holds the potential to inspire and collaborate with the thought process of a human. AI can synthesize vast amounts of information or remove remedial tasks, freeing individuals to tackle more challenging and creative projects.
In FPOV’s upcoming 2024 HUMALOGY® Trends Report, we can determine that the current HUMALOGY® balance for most processes still leans more towards human effort than digital. However, the statistics from the Trends Report survey also reveal that many organizations expect to see the HUMALOGY® scale tipping towards technology in the near future. This hope reflects in areas such as graphic design, the film industry, and home construction, where AI’s transformative influence highlights a dynamic synergy between human effort and technology in 2024. Indeed, this synergy exemplifies how digital and human ingenuity can exponentially benefit various fields.
Graphic design presents one of the most obvious examples of how AI and the human mind function together in 2024. In graphic design, AI tools can revolutionize the creative process through augmentation—suggesting styles and inspiring the human imagination. By predicting patterns, AI generation can easily create visuals, animations and graphics.

Autodraw, for example, allows graphic designers to create simple images on a white space while also providing intuitive suggestions. Tools like Canva and Adobe Sensei automate routine tasks, allowing artists to experiment with further possibilities in the design landscape. In 2024, AI can analyze design patterns, suggest color schemes, fonts, and layouts based upon current trends, and free designers to focus on exploration. The time savings enabled by leveraging AI tools for design translates directly to saved costs. For example, Klarna reported saving $1.5 million in Q1 2024 by leveraging AI image generation tools.
Similarly, generative AI technologies transform the film industry by partnering AI and human creativity. Companies like Sony Corporation, Adobe Inc., and Autodesk Inc. have developed AI for generating content and improving audience engagement in film. Today, AI can enhance storytelling by making it more immersive. AI can streamline and imbed processes in scriptwriting to post-production with possibility. By analyzing data to predict audience preferences, AI helps filmmakers tailor content to specific demographics. AI-enhanced visual effects, color grading, and sound design enable filmmakers to achieve detail and precision. Lastly, AI can generate realistic CGI characters and environments, reducing time and cost for independent creators.
This transformative ability of AI in 2024 should not frighten producers and participants in graphic design or the film industry. If the HUMALOGY® balance seems to tip dramatically towards AI, the productivity and creativity of humans have only increased. Humans, indeed, have not run out of creative ideas in 2024 because of AI. Rather, as demonstrated in reports and the improvement of film, humans and AI have uncovered a beneficial collaboration.
3D modeling provides one last example of HUMALOGY®’s impact in 2024. AI has significantly advanced the development of 3D homes, harmonizing AI efficiency with human innovation. Specifically, the integration of AI in building information modeling (BIM) transforms how architects and builders approach design and construction. AI tools can analyze structural data, optimize building designs, and even automate construction processes. For example, 3D scanning technologies can collaborate with humans in precisely mapping existing structures and suggesting cost-efficient renovation. By allowing architects to visualize complex designs and identify potential issues before construction, AI has minimized waste and reduced project timelines. This collaboration between humans and AI in 2024 has, moreover, helped deal with larger issues such as housing shortages.
Assessing the HUMALOGY® balance in 2024 reveals that AI is accelerating the move toward adopting automation. Yet, as AI tools grow more sophisticated, they may increasingly complement human creativity and expertise. This collaboration allows professionals in areas such as graphic design, film, and construction to expand their capabilities. Ultimately, balancing AI and human effort enhances and amplifies each, rather than replacing one with the other. Recognizing the power of HUMALOGY® in 2024, a collaboration between humans and technology, fosters an optimistic outlook on our future of transformative AI.
