AI x Creativity: A Community Conversation
We start by listening. Guest speakers from the creative field shares how AI has entered their world and what they have learned about its potential outside of image generation. We then open the floor to hear from artists and designers directly. Where are we? What are we worried about? What are we curious about?

Kush Amerasinghe (Founder, BrainBank.world) will share on "Navigating Tech Paradigm Shifts"
Kush will explore the intersection of AI and creativity, addressing the current challenges facing creative professionals in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. Drawing from historical precedents, he will examine common failures that occur when people project existing paradigms onto emerging technologies rather than embracing fundamental changes. The session will highlight what remains constant in human creativity despite technological evolution and conclude with practical guidance for successfully navigating these paradigm shifts whilst maintaining core creative principles and human-centred approaches.
