AI (Artificial Intelligence) is changing the landscape of all industries, including the arts. Should artists embrace, feel comfortable with, or reject AI? Is AI a tool for good, or a threat to creative ownership? Hear from three leading experts in the field of arts and technology, patents, and copyright, moderated by Phyllis Serbes of Pantheon AI, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting human creativity and fostering relationships with generative AI.
