AI in practice – Micro Festival

AI in practice: a multidisciplinary perspective on AI and creativity
Micro-festival curated by Melani De Luca

Artificial intelligence is transforming at an increasingly rapid pace and now permeates every area of our lives. It is not easy to understand these changes at the very moment they occur: to navigate such a complex scenario, AI in Practice brings together male and female experts from various disciplines to explore artificial intelligence from different perspectives, offering a space for discussion on how this tool is influencing creative professions.

Through a series of talks and meetings, ranging from theoretical foundations to concrete applications, up to philosophical perspectives, this micro-festival it brings together figures from the worlds of research, art, the tech sector and philosophy to reflect together on the relationship between AI and creativity, with a multidisciplinary approach and listening to different points of view. 

 

We look forward to seeing you on Friday 8 May from 11:00 to 18:00 at the Palazzo della Cultura in Catania – Sala della Notte. Free admission.

AI in Practice it is designed for students, designers, artists, technologists and all professionals who interact daily with artificial intelligence: no longer a simple digital tool, but an active collaborator in the creative process. An opportunity to critically explore these transformations through direct dialogue with industry experts.
