Arkyve Speaker Series - How Not To Get Replaced With AI
Approximately 25 students gathered on October 16 for “How NOT to Get Replaced by AI,” an Arkyve Speaker Series workshop featuring Darrell Knighton, an EA Sports graphic designer and content creator with more than 40,000 followers.
UTA student Angel Jefferson created and developed the event through his company, Arkyve, with planning and execution support from the Comm Ambassadors and the American Advertising Federation student organization. Jennifer Lanter, Assistant Professor of Practice in the Communication Department, moderated the workshop.
During the session, Knighton shared his personal story and professional journey, connecting his experience in graphic design and content creation to the importance of building a distinctive personal brand. He encouraged students to recognize their individual strengths and understand how to communicate their value in an increasingly AI-driven workplace.
Through a guided worksheet activity, students reflected on their personal and professional goals, explored ways to distinguish themselves, and considered how to position their skills and experiences for future career opportunities.
Held in the Architecture Building, the workshop combined practical career advice with hands-on reflection and gave student organizers valuable experience planning and executing a professional development event.
J. Gilligan’s sponsored the event and provided snacks for attendees, helping make the workshop an engaging opportunity for students to connect, learn, and prepare for the changing world of work.
