Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we create, experience, and think about art. From generating images and composing music to transforming filmmaking and storytelling, AI is opening new creative possibilities while raising important questions about authorship, originality, ethics, and the future of creative work.Join us for a moderated panel discussion exploring the evolving role of AI in art, film, and music. Bringing together artists, filmmakers, musicians, and creative professionals, the conversation will examine how AI is being used in creative practice, where technology enhances the artistic process, and where it may challenge traditional ideas of creativity and ownership. The panel will tackle questions such as: Who is the artist when AI is part of the process? What does originality mean in an age of generative technology? How should artists be compensated when their work is used to train AI? And can technology expand creativity without replacing the human voice at the heart of it? Whether you embrace AI, question it, or remain somewhere in between, this conversation promises a thoughtful and engaging look at one of the most significant cultural shifts of our time. Come listen, ask questions, and join the conversation about the future of creativity. Free Event. Thursday, October 22nd 5-7pm Moderator: Marvin Espy
