Design @ Day: AI and the Future of Creativity

Vivid Ideas at Chatswood Chase: Dr Kazjon Grace, researcher in AI and creativity, Design Lab in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning of the University of Sydney. 

How will Artificial Intelligence impact creative industries?

Creativity is increasingly fundamental to the knowledge economy, both globally and in Australia. As more routine white-collar work becomes automatable, creative work—the production of artefacts both valuable and novel—occupies an increasing share of the tasks that remain. 

But what will creativity look like when working alongside intelligent machines is the norm, rather than the exception? Is human–machine creative collaboration possible? And how do we get there from our current world of ethically-dubious “deep fakes” and endearing-yet-shallow generated content? Dr Kazjon Grace, researcher in AI gives us a glimpse into the future and reveals what our relationship with our AI colleagues could be. 

Design @ 11 is a Vivid Sydney edition of the Design @ Dusk talk series on design research, brought to you by the Design Lab at the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design & Planning, and the Willoughby City Council.
