Creative Informatics

Join us to discuss Creative AI for Creative Work at the National Museum of Scotland on Wednesday 10 April as part of Edinburgh Science Festival.

The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence is creating challenges for the creative industries around human creativity, originality, intellectual property and ethics. However, AI has incredible potential as a tool for creative work – for experimentation or as part of an ideation process. Hear from creative professionals working with AI to enhance their projects – from developing playful innovations to creating new revenue streams for sound and audio production.

With Ana Betancourt (Black Goblin), Catherine Stewart (Data Mind Audio) and artist Theodore Koterwas. Chaired by Dr Frauke Zeller, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction and Creative Informatics at Edinburgh Napier University.
