Session
Two creative practitioners with real skin in the game on the deepest question AI is actually raising.
Purpose: This session takes seriously the deepest question the AI conversation is raising for creative work — whether we're witnessing augmentation of human creativity or a fundamental redefinition of what creativity means — with two practitioners who have real skin in the game.
Discussion: Libbie and Malinda will speak to what they're each experiencing in their creative work and leadership, where the augmentation framing holds and where it breaks down, and what this question means for the next generation of creative practitioners growing up inside Australian families.
Outcomes: You'll leave with a more nuanced view of the AI-and-creativity question than the public conversation usually allows, language for the conversation in your own household, and a clearer frame for treating creative practice as a serious form of value.
