ACE April Meetup: Protecting Your Creative Voice

Connect with other artists, creatives, technologists, and entrepreneurs working at the intersection of art, tech, and AI.

April’s Topic: Protecting Your Creative Voice in an AI World
In a world of fast and easy generation, your unique voice as an artist matters more than event. In this session, we'll dive into the topics of building a brand and staying true to your values and ethics: how to talk about AI with your audience, where to draw the line, and how to protect the integrity and originality of your creative work.

We'll reserve plenty of time for an open group discussion addressing important questions such as:

• How do you address AI in your creative business without undermining perceived value or originality?
• What are your non-negotiables (where will you not use AI at all in your workflow)?
• What ethical and/or legal concerns are most pressing for independent artists and creative businesses?

What to Expect:
We'll bring beverages, ice breakers, and discussion prompts to get the conversation flowing. You bring your thoughts, experiences, and viewpoints. ACE meetups are a warm, collegial, and inviting space. All backgrounds, disciplines, and levels of experience will be respected and given space to express their perspectives, opinions, and concerns about the current state and future of the arts, AI, and technology.
