5:00 PM – AI Talk by Nicolás Couvin
Artificial intelligence is already part of the creative present. It challenges us, makes us uncomfortable, and also challenges us to rethink our role as artists. In this talk, we will reflect on how to coexist with these tools without losing what makes us unique: sensitivity, error, and the authorial vision. We want to open a space to debate, reflect, and share experiences about this profound change affecting the industry and how we can position ourselves in the face of it from a human, ethical, and creative perspective.
