Who Owns You? — A Conversation on Creativity, AI, and Identity
AI is rewriting the rules of creativity — from how art is made to who gets credit. Who Owns You? brings together the people shaping that future: from the media execs from Getty Images and BuzzFeed, to the lawyers behind Downtown Music and LANDR, to the policy minds guiding Cosynd and the Recording Academy.
Join us for a laid-back evening of good people and big ideas, hosted by Royall.ai. We’ll talk about how creators can use AI without losing what makes them human, how laws are catching up (or not), and where we all fit in a world that can copy us faster than we can post.
After the chat, stick around for drinks, music, and real conversations — because the future might be automated, but your vibe definitely isn’t.
