Generative AI is emerging as the latest technology to disrupt the arts, design, and media fields. How are creative faculty responding, sometimes in unexpected ways? This webinar brings together working artists, educators, researchers, and technologists to discuss how they are exploring AI from diverse perspectives – ethically, creatively, and productively.

This panel discussion will be moderated by Dr. Yvonne Houy, the Editor of Tradition-Innovations in Art, Design, and Media Higher Education. The inaugural edition of this new a2ru peer-reviewed digital journal – out in late Fall 2023 – will focus on Artificial Intelligence and possible futures for the Arts.
