About the speaker
AI is shaping our world in profound ways—but how are we, as a community, thinking about and using it?
Our February event is an intentional deviation from the usual speaker/audience format and an invitation to join a collective conversation about AI’s possibilities, challenges, and the roles we want it to play in our lives.
This experience is part of a larger CreativeMornings initiative which seeks to bring more participatory events into the CreativeMornings universe.
There are currently 20+ CreativeMornings chapters around the world working to co-design and push the traditional event framework! All of these events will be collected under the umbrella “Thriving Through Change”.
The initiative to bring more participatory to our CreativeMornings universe is made possible by our Global Partner Adobe.
Come prepared to explore these questions:
1️⃣ Are you currently using AI in your work or life? If so, how?
2️⃣ What are your concerns about AI?
3️⃣ What are your hopes?
Welcome and Warm-Up: We’ll kick things off with a collective breath, a brief introduction, and some neighborly chatter (don't worry, there will be modifications for introverts!)
Hot Takes: After warming up, we’ll move into the main event—a series of 2-minute "hot takes." We'll invite you to raise your hand to share your thoughts, experiences, or questions about AI. Each 2-minute take will be followed by an opportunity for the group to reflect or add on to the idea.
Seating: Please note that chair seats are limited and will be first come, first serve. Floor seating and standing room will be available.
✔️ This experience is not about finding answers but exploring the complexities of AI together. It's about surfacing the experiences of our community— listening and learning with and from each other.
✔️ Ethical concerns around AI will be part of the conversation, as we reflect on both its challenges and opportunities.
✔️ Introverts welcome! There will be moments for both sharing and quiet reflection.
✔️ The goal is to surface our thoughts, feelings, and questions—and to highlight ways AI can support us as artists and creatives.

Favorite quotes from this talk See all
It terrifies me and it excites me. That's the conversation that has to be had. And this is the right community to have that conversation.
This is an experiment in addressing topics that are impacting us in the creative industry. And we’re starting with AI because it is divisive. It is really challenging us as a creative community. So, we want to take a pulse to hear what’s on your minds.
Transparency is super important, especially with creativity.
Can we have an honest conversation about AI, having lived through the last twenty years with the internet and social media, divorced of the people who are behind it and the market forces within which it is being cultivated and grown?
