Our journey with AI continues. We have talked about opportunities, challenges and seen a very hands-on approach during previous conferences, this time we want to talk about responsible AI and creativity. Hendrik Vincent Koops will start a short masterclass on responsible AI, where ethics and social implications of AI will be discussed. How can we strive towards a responsible use of this new technology that is developing very quickly. After this masterclass we will look at some examples made by competitors in the AI contest by Private Kitchen. Join us on this listening session where we talk through the creative process that the nominees went through while composing with AI. Which tools were being used, what challenges did the composers encounter?
This panel is in collaboration with Private Kitchen.
