Succeeding in an AI-Driven World
What’s the real value of a creative education in today’s world?
What accounts for the surging interest in Arts programs during a period of economic uncertainty?
How can we address the challenges that accompany our reliance on AI?
To answer these urgent questions, Pratt Presents is turning its focus to the relationship between a creative education and new technologies, especially AI. Through a series of events and panel discussions, we will examine how creatives are uniquely equipped with tools to critically, ethically, and innovatively engage, and compete in an AI-dominated world. The Institute has long been a pillar of creative education, as well as the creative workforce. Major events in this series will be organized around the areas of study represented by Pratt’s five schools – Architecture, Art, Design, Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Information.
Pratt experts and high-profile thought leaders across technology, the arts, education, and beyond will convene to address questions about what a creative education means in our AI-focused world. These discussions will also address the complexities and challenges inherent in AI, from privacy concerns, to psychological impacts, to the growing need for sustainable and environmentally responsible solutions. Additionally, the series will grapple with what we don’t yet know about AI and how it will shape the future.
As well as the Pratt Presents events series, the initiative will also spotlight the innovative Pratt projects, scholarship, and related events that address the immense potential in the relationship between AI and creativity.
