Artificial Creativity (AC): the Intersection of Content Creation with AI, Neuroscience, and Human-Centric Design & Creativity: Part 1
As artificial intelligence technology delves deeper into neuroscience, it opens up new possibilities through neuroscience-driven insights into brain activity and physiological data. Content creators (as well as “other parties”) now have the opportunity to harness this neurodata to craft personalized and adaptive experiences like never before. In parallel, AI will inevitably use this neurodata, and even create its own “synthetic” neurodata, and this is what A3E deems as Artificial Creativity (AC). This evolution is transforming music, video, gaming, film, and social media content. From AI-generated music that adapts to the listener’s mood, and video content that responds to real-time emotional cues, to social media algorithms designed to maximize engagement using neurodata, and immersive games that react to players’ brainwaves—AI and AC are revolutionizing the future of content creation. The opportunities for innovation are vast, especially possibilities when applied to health-focused content that adjusts based on real-time stress or mood.
However, these advancements also present significant challenges, including concerns over data sets/data ownership, intellectual property, data privacy risks, potential manipulation, the risk of formulaic content, commercialization of human expression, and the devaluation of human creativity in favor of data-driven design. The ethical dilemmas content creators must navigate are profound. Join this A3E discussion to explore these possibilities and challenges, leaving you with critical new insights and questions about the future of content creation and entertainment technology.
Jamie Gale: The Unwritten Future of Guitar;
Why Nobody Plays Their Daddy's Guitar
Join Jamie Gale, Curator of the NAMM Show's Boutique Guitar Showcase for a discussion about the un-written future of guitar. The most prolific instrument of the last 100 years, the guitar adapts and evolves like no other. Despite the multitudes of irrefutable evidence, notice of its death has been proclaimed many, many times with the passing of each new movement.
What is this feeling of the guitar’s demise? Where does it come from? And why is it so wrong? And more importantly, how do we prepare for a future that people consistently predict incorrectly?
