Jen Seregos on کورسو [KOORSOO] (A Faint Glimmer of Hope)

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
As technology accelerates, many people feel a quiet anxiety underneath the headlines: Will my work still matter? Will creativity be replaced? Where do humans fit in all of this?

In “A Faint Glimmer of Hope,” Jen Seregos explores how creative tools powered by AI can become a source of optimism rather than fear.

Through a live, interactive demonstration, Jen shows how music can be created collaboratively with AI, not as a replacement for human expression, but as a mirror, amplifier, and creative partner. The session invites the audience to move past abstract conversations about “the future of AI” and instead experience what it feels like to make something meaningful with it in real time.

This talk is not about technical mastery. It’s about reclaiming agency, curiosity, and play in a moment when many people feel left behind by the pace of change.

Participants will leave with a grounded sense of hope about working alongside technology, a real-world example of AI as a creative collaborator, and practical inspiration for engaging with new tools without losing their humanity.
