AI and Creativity
Collaboration or Crutch?

Can AI ignite creativity or suppress it? Join us to explore how generative AI is reshaping design, education, and the future of making.

Can artificial intelligence enhance creativity, or does it hold it back? As generative AI tools become increasingly common, they raise questions: Does creativity flourish within constraints, or is AI’s probabilistic predictability stifling innovation? Can AI foster creativity by emulating and iterating, or does it risk making creators complacent? And what happens to learning through making when the “making” is outsourced?

Cliff Kuang, Quardean Lewis-Allen, Maheen Sohail, Lauren Vriens and moderator Olga Geletina, will explore the intersection of creativity and AI, from questions of taste and emotional intelligence to the societal impact of AI on education and the future of design. Together, we’ll examine the complexities of this evolving landscape—not to provide definitive answers, but to uncover deeper questions and spark new perspectives.
