Researchers, artists, designers, media experts, business and technology innovators, etc. today are actively exploring the possible uses of Artificial Intelligence to enable machines producing creative visual content like advertisement, product designs, or even paintings, etc. Art, design and media content are challenging to be produced due to the joint complexity of aesthetic, contextual, functional and cultural considerations. In this event, our speakers from relevant professional, research and business communities will share their latest ideas, technologies and works on how AI could help creating original, aesthetic and functional content for visual artworks, applications and businesses. Controversially, these breakthroughs may redefine our usual concepts about art, design and media, and trigger some issues about the ownerships, values, ethics, etc. Is AI a friend or enemy to our human-race creativity? You may discover the answers in this event.
