STILL HUMAN - AI, Creativity & What We Choose to Keep
As part of Global Tech Weekend Tbilisi 2026, Studio Liberty — Liberty Bank's premium experience brand — is hosting Still Human, an intimate evening salon exploring what it means to create, build, and stay real in the age of AI.
Studio Liberty sits at the intersection of financial innovation, business, creativity, and human-centered design. We believe the future of banking, brands, and institutions should be smarter — and more deeply human.
Together with five remarkable thinkers from the worlds of creativity, technology, sustainability, strategy, neuroscience, and AI, we'll explore the questions that matter most right now:
How do we stay creative when AI can create?
How do we stay authentic when AI can persuade?
How do we stay connected when AI can simulate connection?
And what does all of this mean for the brands, businesses, and institutions we are building?
