In Session: AI – Creative tool or existential threat?

Brought by the Royal College of Art, this online event brings together Adrian Shaughnessy, Jessica Helfand and Michael Horsham: Three renowned figures from the visual arts to investigate the role of artificial intelligence in the production of creative visual work.

Is AI a revolutionary tool with transformative powers leading to enhanced creativity? Or a mechanism for replacing artists and designers with parasitic software creating a landscape of cloned, culturally biased, and regurgitated expression?

As students and creative professionals in art and design increasingly embed AI functionality in their work, what are the creative, ethical, and practical ramifications?

The three renowned speakers will weigh up the pros and cons.
