SALESFORCE FUTURES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS HUMAN SALESFORCE FUTURES IS INDEBTED TO OUR SALESFORCE COLLEAGUES AND THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS FOR THEIR DIRECT AND INDIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CONVERSATIONS THAT INSPIRED AND SHAPED THIS WORK: SILVIO SAVARESE, KAT HOLMES, LIZ TRUDEAU, SHELBY HEINECKE, ADRIAN SMALLEY, PHIL MUI, ITAI ASSEO, PAULA GOLDMAN, KATHY BAXTER, YOAV SCHLESINGER, JAYESH GOVINDARAJAN, AND ADAM EVANS. AI PERSONAL AI MAY NOT HAVE FULLY ARRIVED (YET), BUT SALESFORCE FUTURES FOUND PLENTY OF USES FOR AI TOOLS IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS MAGAZINE. IN OUR INITIAL DRAFTS, WHILE EXPLORING CONCEPTS FOR THIS MAGAZINE, WE USED MIDJOURNEY, ADOBE FIREFLY, AND DALL-E TO PRODUCE IMAGERY TOGETHER WITH CHATGPT TO BRAINSTORM, COPY-EDIT AND TO HELP FORMAT THE FAUX ADS. THE FINAL PRODUCTION INCLUDES CUSTOM GRAPHICS PULLED FROM ADOBE STOCK (INCLUDING STOCK AI GENERATED), AND ADOBE FIREFLY (CUSTOM AI GENERATED). FRONT AND BACK COVER ART: DALL-E. IN OUR APPROACH TO THE FINAL VISUAL DESIGN PROCESS IN THIS ISSUE, WE FOUND THAT COLLAGES STRIKE THE BALANCE BETWEEN VARIOUS DIMENSIONS OF HUMAN INTELLIGENCE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. CONNECTING TO THEMES ON PERSONAL AI, THERE IS A CONSCIOUS TREATMENT TO THREAD THE OCCASIONALLY INVISIBLE INTERACTION OF TECHNOLOGY WITH HUMAN BEHAVIOR, AS PERSONAL AI TAKES FORM. THE VISUAL STORY BEGINS WITH AN ABSTRACT DEPICTION OF PERSONAL AI, LEADING VIEWERS INTO IMAGINING FUTURES WHERE MORE DEFINITIVE VERSIONS OF PERSONAL AI EMERGE. OUR AI COVER ART IS A NOD TO THE COVER OF THE BOOK, THE ART OF THE LONG VIEW: PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD, BY PETER SCHWARTZ. ISSUE 1: PERSONAL AI | 53
