AIを使いすぎているかどうかを見分ける方法 | Terrence "TJ" Nealy | TEDxCharlotte

クリエイティブテクノロジストのTerrence "TJ" Nealyが、AIへの依存が個人の判断や創造的な直感を少しずつ置き換えてしまう可能性について語ります。自分の考えを信じる前にAIに頼っていることに気づいた経緯を、400本の家族の動画の整理から、未検証のデザイン案を見送った例まで紹介します。講演では、AIを批判的かつ倫理的に使うための枠組みとして「クリエイティブ・ソブリンティ」という概念を提示します。クラウド型とローカル型のAIモデルの違いや、個人的な創作上の譲れない基準についても扱います。

• AIの利用がデフォルトの声になる瞬間に気づく
• クリエイティブ・ソブリンティの枠組み
• クラウド型とローカル型のAIモデルの違い

What if the most advanced technology in your workflow is quietly making you less of yourself? Creative Technologist TJ Nealy opens up about a pattern he didn’t notice until it was already happening — defaulting to AI before trusting his own instincts. From sorting 400 family videos to abandoning a bold design idea he never even tested, TJ traces the subtle ways AI can shift from a tool into the voice we trust most. This isn’t an anti-AI talk. It’s a wake-up call. In this talk, TJ introduces the concept of Creative Sovereignty — a framework for using AI critically and ethically without surrendering your perspective, your instincts, or your creative identity. You’ll learn how to distinguish between cloud and local AI models, define your own creative non-negotiables, and why practicing deliberate inefficiency might be the most productive thing you can do. If you’ve ever accepted an AI suggestion without knowing exactly why — this one’s for you. Terrence “TJ” Nealy is a creative technologist who leads at the intersection of storytelling and emerging technology. Over the past decade, he's directed creative and marketing teams for organizations ranging from The Walt Disney Company to community development centers, earning W3, Telly, and Webby Awards for work that demonstrates how technology amplifies—rather than replaces—human creativity. As Owner/Creative Director of MODD Creative Agency, Nealy has pioneered AI integration frameworks and innovated internal systems for small startups and fortune 500 companies. Beyond his agency work, he teaches STEM and digital literacy to 200+ underrepresented youth annually, bridging the digital divide and cultivating the next generation of creative technologists. Rooted in Charlotte, North Carolina, Nealy's work is driven by a clear conviction: when story, strategy, and technology are aligned, they create opportunities that transform lives and communities.
