Abstract or Description

An invited talk at TechUK office, in collaboration with Arts Council England at the following event:

'AI, Creative Expression & Skills: Forging New Pathways Together, with Arts Council England and techUK '

Join us for a thoughtful exploration of how artificial intelligence and the creative sector are evolving to expand what’s possible in creative expression. This curated event brings together diverse perspectives from artists, designers, technologists, ethicists, and innovators to examine the current practices and skills driving the responsible integration of AI within creative processes.

What to Expect

Our afternoon begins with an insightful keynote address charting the evolving landscape in which AI and the creative industries intersect, acknowledging both the transformative potential of this intersection and the nuanced considerations it presents. Since 2019 Arts Council England has invested more than £3.9m in artists using AI technologies as a medium for creative expression or engaging with the impact that these technologies have on people and planet. Alongside funding artists directly Arts Council England has among its network of 990 National Portfolio Organisations, organisations that support artists, communities, and audiences to engage with AI technologies in creative, engaging and challenging new ways - from Serpentine Galleries in London, to FACT in Liverpool, and Watershed in Bristol.

Through interactive demonstrations from musician and technologist creative duo, witness firsthand how AI tools are being thoughtfully integrated into creative workflows – preserving and amplifying human artistic vision and aesthetic value while opening new possibilities for expression and design. This practical showcase illustrates the tangible ways in which AI is currently being used to enhance creative practices.

In addition, two expert panels will explore critical themes at the intersection of creativity and technology:
