AI as a Creative Collaborator, Not Just a Tool
AI is evolving from an automation tool into a creative collaborator across art, music, and film. Artists are painting alongside algorithms and blending machine-generated visuals with human storytelling, redefining authorship. At the same time, a revival of handcrafted work, from the BBC’s claymation Women’s Euros campaign to Coldplay’s stop-motion videos, shows that human touch still moves audiences. In this session, we will explore how artists can work with AI while preserving creativity, ethics, and craft?
