AI, Innovation, and the Future of Work in the Arts and Humanities
AI, Innovation and the Future of Work in the Arts & Humanities
The Business, Manufacturing & Innovation Spotlight invites colleagues from across the Arts Faculty to a focused working discussion on AI, innovation and the future of work in the creative and cultural industries.
Building on the findings of the BM&I Spotlight鈥檚 Creative Industries Report and the CCI Knowledge Sharing Event (8 June), this gathering will bring together colleagues whose work touches on employability, placements, and careers in the Arts. Together, we will explore how AI is reshaping the demands facing graduates entering creative and cultural careers, how departments are currently responding, and what research questions this opens up.
The session will focus on sharing experiences, identifying challenges, and exploring ideas for responding to a rapidly changing landscape. This will serve as a starting point for further collaborative research into the impact of AI on higher education training and the future of work in the Arts and Creative Industries.
Hosted by the Business, Manufacturing & Innovation SpotlightLink opens in a new window.
