See all- Gen AI in Creative Workflows: Balancing Innovation and EthicsBLANKSPACES - Santa Monica Coworking Office Space, Santa Monica, CA
Generative AI presents artists with unprecedented opportunities for creativity, enabling them to explore new techniques, styles, and offering powerful tools that can augment human creativity and streamline workflows. However, it also raises concerns about the potential devaluation of traditional craftsmanship and challenges notions of authenticity, sparking debates about the role of human ingenuity in the artistic process. The integration of these technologies also raises complex ethical questions around issues of creative intellectual property like copyright, data privacy, consent, and potential biases.
This panel event will delve into the multifaceted implications of generative AI for artists, offering a unique exploration of both its positive and negative aspects, fostering a comprehensive understanding of this transformative technology's impact on the artistic landscape. We’ll also discuss the ethical implications of creative use of generative AI and dive into the creative process, accountability, safeguards against misuse and harm, and how we can shape a future where generative AI elevates diverse voices.
Whether you're a creative professional, technologist, ethicist, or simply interested in learning more about this timely topic, this panel will offer a nuanced dialogue on the opportunities and challenges with generative AI in creative workflows.
