AI and Creative Expression Webinar
From generative writing tools to augmented publishing processes, artificial intelligence is rapidly changing and challenging the landscape of creative writing and publishing. To respond, MyWorld and Bath Spa University’s Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries (CCCI) and Narrative and Emerging Technologies (NET) Lab have developed a series of free webinars, Writing with Technologies, to offers an in-depth look at AI’s emerging influence across writing and publishing in multiple fields.
For our second webinar of this series, artist Janet Biggs and Nadim Sadek, founder & CEO of Shimmr AI, explored how AI is reshaping the landscape of creativity. We shared experiences, explored diverging attitudes, showcased innovative projects and discussed the role of AI in augmenting human creativity.
