Technological breakthroughs have often led to profound questioning of our societies. Often, it's artists who have invited us, or forced us, to question ourselves. The emergence of AI is without doubt the greatest technological breakthrough of the 21st century, and as always, artists are there to encourage us to introspect. What's special about this revolution, however, is that it calls into question the nature of art and the role of artists. So who better to discuss this paradigm shift than creators who are already using AI in their creative processes? Coming from the worlds of live art, digital art, multimedia exhibitions and music, our panelists will discuss how they have taken on these new tools in concrete projects, and the limits and promises of AI.

This captivating panel discussion will feature distinguished leaders from major renowned AI institutes across Canada who are at the forefront of shaping AI research and its impact on society.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up major ethical debates concerning its integration into our societies. Culture, one of the sectors most affected by these developments, has a fundamental role to play in these reflections. Can AI amplify the diversity of cultural expression? Actors from the book, music and audiovisual industries, representing entrepreneurs and creators, share their vision of the intersection between technology and culture. This panel aims to affirm the primordial role of culture, not only as a reflection of our humanity, but also as an essential ethical beacon in the deployment of AI.

In this keynote, we explore how Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) poses both challenges and opportunities for creative industries and cultural diversity. GenAI's use of copyrighted material in training and the flood of AI-generated content raises concerns about compensation and incentives for creators.
