NEW DATE: 20 February 2025, 19.00-20.30
Pigott Theatre at the Britsh Library
The emergence of generative AI has put the spotlight on the relationship between human creativity and AI. This AI technology uses text, visual or audio output, mostly created by humans over time, to create new content, sometimes similar to the source content that was used in AI training. The emerging debates question whether the use of generative AI will replace or augment human creativity, additionally there are many issues in relation to its frequent disregard for copyright, disruption of business models in creative industries, and the quality of AI generated creative output.
