Summit Old Guard Speaker Program - AI Image Creation, Past and Present

Our speaker on Tuesday, May 5^th, will be Gary Murakami focusing on the exploration of AI image creation in the last few years, including early stages from Adobe Firefly, through experimenting with many websites, to the current state of the art with NightCafe (the “AI Art Generator for AI artists, enthusiasts and content creators”). Many images will be used to give an overview of the creation process, composition, challenges, community, multiple image generation models, video, and additional AI tools. Gary, a member of Old Guard, spent the bulk of his career working as a computer scientist and software engineer at AT&T Bell Labs and finally as a VP of Engineering.
