Creative Links: AI and Jewellery - What are the opportunities?

Description

Designed, developed, and chaired this panel discussion in partnership with education charity, The Goldsmiths Centre.

Promotional material:

What is the potential of AI for today’s jeweller? How can AI be harnessed as a tool to extend and enrich creative practice? Can it support the process of design and making? What opportunities does its content generation abilities offer businesses in marketing and promoting jewellery?

AI is part of our everyday lives, whether we are aware of its presence or not. Many businesses and organisations are starting to employ it to support their work, but as individual makers or small businesses navigating this opportunity can be daunting. Join this in-conversation, chaired by Lynne Craig, Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor), Institute for Design Informatics, University of Edinburgh to be onboarded into the world of AI’s potential.

Lynne will be joined by Mick Grierson, Professor of Computer Science working at the intersection of AI and the Creative Industries, Toyin Laketu a fashion business and digital consultant and Ana Thompson, an award-winning multidisciplinary designer, jeweller and educator. They will discuss and share their broad reaching experience of AI, question how it can help and ask – what does the jewellery industry need from AI? Whether you are curious about AI, or starting to explore its potential, this conversation will offer new perspectives.

For Ana, “Embracing AI is about opening new creative possibilities, redefining how we imagine, design, collaborate and produce. It enables more fluid intersections between tradition and innovation and creates new opportunities for personalisation and co-creation, transforming the way consumers engage with jewellery and design.” Join us to see what is possible.

At the beginning of the event there will be the opportunity to network and talk to peers, and at the conclusion of the conversation the panelists will be pleased to answer your questions.
