We will discuss how the latest disruptive tools, including generative AI, are inspiring teachers & students to better express themselves, spark ideation & accelerate iteration. Excitement and inspiration at all levels of education must still be balanced with issues of ethics and respect for personal artistic process - but we must acknowledge the reality of the present and near future use of new tools to better prepare the next generation of artists and storytellers. Moderator Terrence Masson (SVA) will bring 30+ years of production and higher education leadership experiences to lead an exciting discussion with some of the world's top educational leaders in creative technology.
