A late-night exploration of human voice, meaning and creativity in the age of artificial intelligence. There are four parts to the evening.

First, an explainer from Cory Alpert on What AI Is (and Isn't) Doing to Human Creativity.

Best-selling author, Heather Morris, in a one-on-one with host Nick Place on Writing Empathy: What Stories Can Do that Facts Can't.

Then we switch to looking at human creativity vs AI with The Human Sentence—Writers vs AI with writers Candida Baker, Amy Coomer, Cocoa the Conscious, Amy Hutton and Daniel Nour experimenting with their different voices and tones, versus AI.

And we end the evening with The Human Sound—Musicians vs AI. Four different musicians: Con Campbell (Saxophone), Max Holzner (Violin), and Deborah Conway and Willy Zygier show what they can do that AI can't (or maybe can).

It's a fabulous evening.
