Exploring the Future of Creativity in the Age of AI

A New Era of Creativity in the AI Age

The UNIVERSITY of CREATIVITY (UoC) has announced its research focus for this year entitled, "Where is Creativity Headed in the Age of AI?" This forward-thinking institution is committed to exploring and implementing creativity across disciplines, guided by the belief that "We are ALL born creative."

As artificial intelligence rapidly evolves, it significantly alters the foundation of our lives, our businesses, and even government. The challenge we face today is to perceive these changes as either a crisis or an opportunity. The distinction lies in the expectation placed on human creativity. When the power to evoke emotions, connect information with reality, and inspire wonder is combined with AI, what new vistas might unfold?

UoC will convene a diverse group of creators, cultural figures, and scholars to advance research in this domain. Their approach will include:

1. Knowledge Building and Sharing: Engaging in keynote speeches and discussions with prominent experts in and outside of UoC.
2. Seminar Operations: Hosting an estimated 10 to 20 seminars annually aimed at students and working individuals, fostering a platform for dialogue and exploration.
3. Strategic Collaborations: Partnering with companies, educational institutions, government agencies, and creative leaders to stimulate innovation and community engagement.

In addition to these initiatives, UoC will host sessions featuring notable experts on a bi-monthly basis, encouraging continuous discourse on the interplay between AI and creativity. Next month, a special program titled, "Where is Creativity Headed in the Age of AI? – The Future of Human Potential" will examine research hypotheses and present findings from a global study on creativity.
