Organised by the Mobiliser in Creative and Digital Economy at the University of Sussex Business School.

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the creative industries, reshaping how creative content is produced, distributed and consumed. From music and film to gaming, design and digital media, AI is opening up exciting new opportunities while raising fundamental questions about creativity, ownership and the future of creative work.

Join us for an engaging discussion bringing together latest academic research and real-world industry perspectives. A panel of academics and industry experts will explore the opportunities, challenges and implications of AI for the creative industries, from intellectual property and copyright to new business models, creative practices and the future of work.
