Are you thinking about how generative artificial intelligence (AI) intersects with creativity? Or how it draws from existing works and collections? Or enables new understandings of culture?

Join Creative Commons in NYC on 13 September 2023 for a full-day symposium focused on the intersection of generative artificial intelligence, cultural heritage, and contemporary creativity.

Bringing together cultural heritage experts, contemporary creators working with AI tools, and platform builders: Our focus will be on the relationship between access and reuse of cultural heritage and contemporary creativity, and an exploration of AI tools as a new means of creative expression building on the commons.

Hosted at NYU’s Engelberg Center, the symposium will feature a series of panels tackling critical questions, including:

• Can AI propel cultural heritage institutions through their digital transformation?
• Can AI help everyone enjoy culture as a global public good?
• Open sharing of heritage collections and data: bounty or bane for creativity in the age of AI?
• Fair remuneration of creators — Can AI be an answer?
• Diversity, inclusivity, sustainability, and cultural identity — What role for AI?
• Creativity, machines and the heritage commons — What collaboration opportunities are there?
• Users as creators and users — Is AI blurring the lines of creativity?

Spots are limited! Register now to make sure you are part of the live conversation.

Note: Proceedings will be recorded for later viewing online after the event.
