About the Event
The creative industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, and it's not hard to see why. It's an exciting time to be a creator, as technology allows for so many new ways of thinking about art and creating it.
But what does the future hold for creativity? How can we help AI empower us as creators instead of replace us? And how can we ensure that this revolution doesn't leave behind those who have already been marginalized by society?
Join us for a panel discussion on the intersection of art and technology. We'll explore how AI is affecting the creative industry, discuss what the future holds for creativity, and talk about how we can use this technology to empower all kinds of people—not just those who are privileged enough to be born into money and access.
