Open Talks: Creativity is Dead, Long Live Creativity! Generative AI and the Meaning of Art

About this event

Open Talks is Cohort NYC's interactive community conversation series for idea people, founders, builders, creatives and researchers. This week, facilitator Emma Stamm (Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Lenox Institute for Advanced Study, PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies from Virginia Tech) leads "Creativity is Dead, Long Live Creativity! Generative AI and the Meaning of Art." GenAI suggests that creativity is not unique to humans or even conscious organisms, but is reducible to mere calculation and programming. Has creativity finally been revealed as a sham? The group works through thought experiments about the philosophical issues genAI raises, how scholars and artists have framed creativity and technology, and whether creativity was always a myth. Not a panel. Attendees talk to each other, with a bar, food, pool and ping pong at the venue.
