AI @ NC State Hot Topics Series
The Data Science Academy hosts an AI @ NC State Hot Topics Series on NC State University’s Centennial Campus! This monthly series will highlight AI hot topics and occur on Thursday, November 7, from 8:45-9:45 am
TOPIC: Artistry in the Age of AI: Balancing Innovation and Creativity
DESCRIPTION: In navigating AI’s role in artistry, the dialogue explores leveraging AI as a supportive tool in artists’ creative and professional pursuits, aiming to streamline processes and enhance output quality. Concurrently, concerns arise about AI potentially overshadowing human creativity, prompting discussions on maintaining artistic integrity amidst technological advancements. The challenge lies in finding a harmonious balance where artists embrace AI’s capabilities without compromising their unique artistic expression and labor.
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and ethics. Our interdisciplinary forum of experts from industry and academia will dive into the implications of AI technologies on society, exploring the ethical considerations that arise from their widespread adoption.

INVITATION: Please join the Data Science Academy for the AI @ NC State Hot Topic series, an opportunity for people curious about AI to network with experts, scholars, and practitioners.
