Out of Distribution: Thriving Creatively in the Age of AI

In this densely illustrated talk, Scott explores how we can maximize our human creative potential in the face of the tidal wave of capabilities from the latest AI tools. He explores the trajectory of the field of AI, covering the critical ideas and data that have led us to where we are now. He asks the question on everyone’s mind - what space will be left for artists and creatives as more powerful AI inevitably arrives, and how should we think about situating our work and careers in the face of this constantly accelerating technology? The presentation is filled with examples and anecdotes from his own work with machine learning & AI over the past seven years.
