The Big Debate | Is AI Killing Creativity or Unleashing It?
What happens when anyone can create anything and machines can do it faster?
AI can write the copy, compose the music, design the campaign, generate the image and make the film. The barriers to creativity are disappearing but are we entering a new golden age of human imagination, or simply drowning in an endless sea of AI slop?
If anyone with an idea and a prompt can suddenly become a designer, filmmaker, musician or writer, what does it mean to actually be creative? And if you can't tell whether something was made by a human or a machine, does it even matter?
Join us at Belfast Tech Week as two teams go head-to-head over the future of creativity, the value of craft and whether AI is democratising human expression or slowly destroying the very thing that makes it valuable.
This isn’t a panel. It’s a showdown.
Three rounds. Two sides. No sitting on the fence.
Expect strong opinions, uncomfortable questions and plenty of disagreement as we ask:
Is AI killing human creativity or are we on the verge of the biggest creative explosion in history?
You’ll get the final say, with the audience voting before and after the debate to see which side can actually change the room.
