Getting creative with AI

In a world shaped by technology, how can creativity help us hold on to our humanity?

In this episode, I speak with copywriter, creative and tech enthusiast Natalie Smithson. Natalie believes that creativity will continue to play a crucial role in harnessing our 'human-ness' within a digital age, and discusses how she intends to embrace art and AI to inspire a more empathetic and compassionate world for the future generations.

Key discussion points:

  • The importance of finding your way and creating a path that aligns with your values and passions.
  • The power of immersive exhibition experiences in sparking creativity, connection, and community.
  • The need to create a space to explore ideas, take risks, and challenge yourself.

Thank you for listening!
