These will include academics from 20 universities, alongside independent researchers, filmmakers, musicians, artists and creative industry professionals from the UK and around the world – speaking , debating, exhibiting and performing.

 

We’ll also present a pop-up exhibition of AI creative works alongside the conference and a night of AI-related performances at Manchester venue The Deaf Institute. These events will celebrate the important contribution the practitioner community make to creative AI research, testing and also challenging our ideas of what is possible with these new technologies.
