Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we create, design and understand images — but what happens to creativity when the tools themselves begin to think, generate and make?

The Algorithmic Brush explores AI’s growing role in art and design, asking broader questions about authorship, originality, creative labour and the social foundations of artistic practice. Rather than focusing only on what AI can produce, the discussion considers what its emergence means for the people, communities and cultural systems that have traditionally shaped creativity.

Professor Gareth Schott of the University of Waikato brings together his academic research and experience as an artist to examine the opportunities, tensions and uncertainties surrounding AI and creative practice.

A conversation about technology, creativity and what it means to be human in an increasingly algorithmic creative world.
