Once the stuff of science fiction, creative machines are now threatening to upend culture, entertainment, and everyday life. Can AI really be creative? What does it mean for machines to participate in artistic expression? And how do we build a human-centric future in this new era, one that supports both professional creatives and everyday creators?

Drawing on insights from her book, "Creative Machines: AI, Art & Us," Dr. Maya Ackerman invites us to rethink the relationship between humans and machines, offering a path forward that uses AI not to overshadow us, but to elevate human imagination and expression. Practical dimensions of the current threats and opportunities will be discussed.
