ARTificial Intelligence: The Next Update for Creativity
with Jeanette Winterson
We’ve all heard it—creativity stands at the precipice of a technological revolution, and the fear of being replaced by ARTificial intelligence (AI) is real. But what if it’s time for an update on what it means to be human? With curiosity, philosophical inquiry, and personal reflection, author of 12 Bytes Jeanette Winterson explores the fascinating intersection of AI and creativity, examining the potential and challenges of this transformative technology, and what it holds for the future of human expression.
