How will AI change journalism and storytelling? Join us on August 15, 2024, for our Déjà Vu event on journalism and storytelling at The San Francisco Chronicle.
In an age where artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly intertwined with our daily lives, the boundaries between human experiences and AI-generated narratives get blurred. This panel discussion challenges journalists, neuroscientists and entrepreneurs to explore the impact of AI on the creative process of storytelling.
In a recent interview, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati said that AI may fill creative jobs that were replaceable in the first place- through this discussion, we aim to provoke thoughts on the nature of authenticity, the ways creative work might change, and the ethical implications of using AI in storytelling.
The event also touches upon the ownership of ideas and whether AI supports or falsifies creative processes and raises the question: What happens to the integrity of a journalistic project when AI is part of the work?
This event is part of Déjà Vu, an event series by Swissnex in San Francisco exploring the relationship between AI and human creativity, raising critical questions about the nature, ethics, and future of artistic creation in an age of intelligent machines.
